Starting here with SYLVIE, my middle-grade graphic novel based on my growing up in France.
Kirkus called it “Comforting, warm, calm, and deeply satisfying.”
ages 9-14 (although I've had fan mail from people of all ages!)

Hi Luis, I do sell some artwork. If you are interested in a piece, you can DM me with the name of the piece (or date I posted it) and I’ll send you availability, size, and price.

Glad you like this series, Luis. No show planned. Social media works out for me. 😊

Tomorrow is International Day of Peace. It almost feels futile considering the human-made horrors in so many parts of the world. At least drawing brings me a momentary sense of peace.

Both beautiful. I love the "cottage" look of the left one. 🧡

A mountain shape, a bird, some patterns, just what I want to draw!

How sweet! Monti and Leo love to be a part of this lovely welcome!

Melissa Ostrom @melostrom.bsky.social · Aug 4

Get to see my brother and his family soon. Found a couple games for us to play and made them some pasta bowls and traded pottery for these cozy blankets my friend Diane knitted with the softest yarn. And I got the kids a new book, MONTI AND LEO by @sylviekant.bsky.social. They’re going to love it!❤️📚

THAT is so sweet, Melissa! Monti and Leo are flattered to be part of such a welcoming display! Wishing you and family a lovely time together. 🥰 🧡
