It's #kidlitartpostcard time!

I've been working on a few spooky themed stories, which I will be sharing bits of over this month. Until then here's Medusa getting ready for all the fun

I'm a bit late to this but just in case you're interested here's a baby medusa, a stinky dragon and some mermaids.
I have more samples on my mythical section on my website on this link ->

A gray smiling bipedal wolf offering candies to four trick or treaters. The first one is dressed as Luigi from Super Mario Bros. and she is scared surprised. The second one is dressed as a ghost and he is smiling and amazed. The third one is dressed as Frankenstein, he is also scared. The fourth one is dressed as a witch princess and she is slowly walking backwards.

🎃 October’s here, so I’m going to start banging the gong for my new picture book #MonsterMakeovers, illustrated by Rae Minos and published by Boxer Books.

🧌 It’s a revolting rhyme set in an “ugly salon” at #Halloween.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!
I cant believe its September already! I've been working on so many new stories over summer - this was one idea I had much earlier in the year about a perfectionist little poodle called Penelope.

Happy #worlddogday
Just thought I’d share an illustration from a story idea I’m currently working on; Hamish MacAw and the sea dogs.   International Dog Day was Founded in 2004 by Colleen Paige, to raise awareness about the large number of dogs that need to be rescued every year.

Thank you @ginaperry.bsky.social for creating this place for us all to connect!

This unicorn created by Melizza Santram-Chernov is a representation of one of her possible spirit animals (hahaha). Like so many others I am paradoxical. In this case I'm both ethereal and grumpy at any given time.
