Mistletoe Tarsier can be found in Christmas Trees during the holiday season. The creature feeds on candy canes, so make sure your tree has some. However, beware, because getting close to one will give you an inexplicable urge to kiss the next person you see.

What a day! Edna's day was far from perfect. Her broom decided to quit, and her mischievous crows caused some trouble on their way home. 😅 The best part about illustrating this spot? Definitely those cute little crows! They were so much fun to draw. 🖤

I completely forgot to post the last day of Folktale week!

Here's an illustration of the whole (hole) journey.

You see a light up ahead and realise, as you pop out of the hole, that the sun is rising. You've been falling all night. Tonight you'll bring sandwiches!

Can you help me caption this?

I’m working on a new T-Shirt designs and I’m struggling with the caption. Happy Holly Gaze? Happy Holly Daze?…

Just does not feel right. 😅

Here's the illustration that I shared last week for #kidLitArtPostcard day, only here mocked up as a full book cover. 🐺🤫

In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The book cover title is "Boarding School Werewolf" by Jo Barnett. At the top of the cover, it says "School can be a transformative experience."

I wrote the story “The Maiden and the Dragon” to explain the origin of the dragon-people in my fantasy land, Ardan. Now, I’m trying to design the main characters for the upcoming illustration. This is Onothera, who takes her father’s place and changes everyone’s fate.

A little kid is balanced on one foot with arms stretched out. They are holding a wand with a dreamy look. They have blue hair, ponytails, a set of fairy wings and are dressed in yellow and orange PJs with purple socks.

Happy Spooky November!

#kidlitart
A blind woman faces us; she is making a "shush" sign with one hand. She has long black hair covering one of her eyes, while the other eye is entirely white with no pupil. There's a crow on her shoulder and a little table with a calice, a snake and a skull in front of her. Coming out of the calice, there are ghosts with skull faces, swirling around the woman.
