It's the last #kidlitpostcard of the year!

I'm Tharini, and I'm a digital illustrator from Sri Lanka. I specialize in #kidlit and fantasy art, but I love creating anything whimsical and vibrant. I'm also currently looking for representation!

Happy November folks! This month's #kidlitartpostcard is a spread from the book petite etoile written by Marie Tibi and published by editions circonflexe. This season it is being published by Bohem Verlag. As you can tell from this example, I like to set a mood and love the little details....

Hey @democrats.org, it’s actually really easy.

You just need to forcefully say, “We refuse to fund an authoritarian regime.”

List the people’s demands and tell Republicans the government will shut down if they’re not met.

Then watch as the masses mobilize behind you.

If you fight, we will too.

Happy #kidlitart postcard day for September! (whew, what? really?) Since most of my garden tomatoes this year did not make it to the table, I have been thinking of who might have been enjoying them instead.
