It’s another #kidlitartpostcard day filled with with beautiful artwork. My name is Deborah Paquette and I am seeking representation and new projects. Visit my portfolio at www.deborahpaquette.com. #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitpostcard #picturebooks

A funny little kid with mismatched socks and a t-shirt that says “cool” looks apprehensively around a bright yellow room with old fashioned portraits hanging on the wall.

In Procreate, can you erase stuff with colour drop? You sure can and I am going to show you how! #illustration #Procreate #kidlitart #kidlit

I kinda feel like if your top agents are open to queries, you should carpé that diem. They might close at an inopportune time. #kidlitchat

I have an idea for a book that is so different I really don’t know what I would do for comps. It stops me cold and I haven’t been able to pursue it further. #kidlitchat

I’m really good at seeing things I don’t like about my query after I have already sent it out several times. As much as I try to revise and edit in advance, I always end up in that same place. #kidlitchat

#KidLitArtPostcard time. Still having fun playing with interpretations of Myth characters & their storylines. Eager to move past myth and have an honest to goodness illustration assignment for work. Scrolling to see more art tomorrow. More work here: theresaanackerwohlers.com

Gouache painting of Mythological figure Demeter transforming into horse and being chased down by Poseidon. Their spirits unite to form the most famous mythological horse, Arion. Leastways, by one telling.

A celestial child costumed as a rabbit takes a bite out of the moon while a boat sails along a river. Stars dance against a dark teal colored sky while orange lanterns floats on the water.

My ink, watercolor, color pencil illustration of family of rabbits visiting on an autumn day. Mama Bunny leads the way carrying a pumpkin tureen. Followed by sister bunny holding a bag of apples. The bag has a hole at the bottom and it's leaking apples. Which causes the bunny behind her to trip, throwing his plate of cupcakes in the air. The bunny bringing up the rear is carrying a pie and is distracted by the cupcakes. Hopefully he won't trip on an apple. This is a self- promotional postcard - my contact on the bottom reads: Diana Ting Delosh • illustrator/storyteller • diana delosh.com represented by Lynnette Novak of The Seymour Agency
