It's #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I’m queer, neurodiverse #KidLitArt illustrator who favors
- sketchy lines
- painterly color
- playful patterns
- luscious lighting
- quirky characters
- tons of texture
- sweetly subversive humor

This image is one that I've been working on for a book about mythical creatures. This is a water nymph. I created her laying in the water on her back because I learned how to swim as an adult :) I was nervous to learn but when I was on my back I could float along the water feeling totally relaxed.
