I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Often, when I draw teachers or coaches, I think of my first and favorite elementary school teacher, Svetlana Ivanovna. More than 30 years have passed, yet I still remember her with warmth and the deepest gratitude. #drawingrocess #illustratingprocess #workinprogress

Hi, #PortfolioDay ! I'm Mike and I like creating fun, colorful character-driven art. I make lots of art for video and tabletop games and would love to create some MG book covers. I am also seeking representation. Cheers! #kidLitArt #characterDesign #characterIllustration #gameArt #illustration

A girl is trying to walk two fluffy samoyeds but has gotten entirely tangled up in the leashes of the two dogs who are happily running circles around her.
The title reads "Zoey Crocker, Pet Walker" by Maureen Keene.

Two kids explore a hallway in a dark mansion. They look worried, and the boy holds a flashlight. The hallway is lined with paintings in ornate frames, all of the eyes of the paintings watching the kids. We can see the shadow of some sort of horned monster coming up the stairs.
The title reads "The Mystery of Mystic Manor" by Jo Barnett.

Sherrif Saguaro, an old-timey western sheriff who also happens to be a walking cactus. He's wearing a dusty leather coat and boots with spurs and a red bandana, and while he wears no hat, his cactus head is the shape of a 10-gallon hat. He's dashing through a dusty old western frontier town about to throw a lasso. In the background is his trusty horse, who also happens to be a cactus.

A panicked apprentice witch (she's human, with pink hair, glasses, and light academia clothing) makes a mess of her cauldron while being calmy advised by an older, wiser witch (who is a bear.) Aside from the exploding cauldron, the browns of the scene make it warm and cozy.
The cover reads "DeepWoods Academy for the Magically Inept" by Jo Barnett, book 1: Trouble Brewing

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is me (and my brother) as kids. The plants behind us are Oregon grape. We liked to use them for face paint! If I remember right, our mom wasn’t pleased. Portfolio site: kirstenmcgonigal.com I’m rep’d by: @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social

Gouache children’s book illustration, painted by Kirsten McGonigal, showing a little boy and girl who are brother and sister sitting on the ground with green bushes behind them. The bushes are Oregon grape, and have purple berries on them. The boy and girl both have berry juice smudged on their faces like face paint, and the girl is reaching out to put more on her brother’s face. They also both have stains from the berries on their hands, arms, legs, and clothing. The boy is smiling, and the girl has a look of concentration on her face as she paints her brother’s face.

Happy anniversary, #kidlitartpostcard Day by @ginaperry.bsky.social! The prompt was Me as a Child. I grew up in the Soviet Far North, where winter lasted 10 months a year. I only learned there’s a wrong season for ice cream after moving away. Still think -15°C is perfect ice cream weather🍦❄️ #kidlit

Children’s illustration of a child in warm winter clothes happily eating ice cream outdoors despite the freezing weather and deep snow.
