The left side is a detailed painting of brown undergrowth filled with dry leaves, twigs and bugs. Orange mushrooms and small green leaves burst through while two small green characters with leaves on their heads hold hands. The right side is white with text that reads: illustrator-author/ANNA DAVISCOURT/annadaviscourt@gmail.com/annadaviscourt.com
Made with acrylic gouache and colored pencils on Bristol paper.

I used to say to be paid to draw/paint but now I say to always feel appropriately compensated for the work I do. 😊

Too risqué for KidLit? 😆 #kidlitart

Just playing. Which caption works better? Do I need to make the t-shirt more obvious? #ireallyshouldbedrawingsomethingelse #humanintelligence #noAI #pencildrawing #illustration

Charter study … Melinda…a kindergartener who likes purple a whole lot. #characterstudies #kidlitart #childrensillustration #kidsbookart #illustration #cartoony

An illustration of a kindergartner, with longish brown hair wearing a purple top with stars and blue shorts. Four different studies. Walking running, walking a dog and jumping for joy.

Yay!! It’s #kidlitartpostcard day!!
Thanks @ginaperry.bsky.social for creating this way to connect.

I’m Priscilla and I’m always looking for more fun and funny projects to add to my schedule!

I love drawing animals and kids and it’s a bonus if it has a connection to New England. Thanks!

Glad your dad’s surgery went well! That’s always stressful.
I’ve been working a lot but I’m nearly done with one project…about to dive into another. All’s good though! #kidlit
