Oct's #KidLitArtPostcard Day is my fave of the year, with all the colors of the season in full display.

I'm Angela & I use analog mediums to create cozy art for humans of all ages. I'm #SeekingRepresentation & looking for projects in the #KidLit field.

A pen and watercolor pencil drawing of a mouse walking on a row of pumpkins in different shades of orange, triumphantly carrying a pale orange one. The mouse is wearing a yellow cap, a pale brown satchel, and a purple/yellow checkered coat. A light watercolor wash of varying shades of orange is the background. Art by me.
