Happy #pi day! The March prompt from my agent was to illustrate something starting with “pi”. I chose to draw a little pigeon mail carrier. 🖤 Pigeons have such a cool history in relation to correspondence - it’s worth understanding them a bit more. #pigeon #kidlitillustration #kidlitartist
Crisp mornings. 🤍🤍 I know fall doesn’t “officially” start (in the N hemisphere) for another week, but as the acorns continue to tumble down our roof, I can’t help but declare it’s already here! 🤗 Getting all my sweaters and beanies out. How are you preparing? #fall #illustration #kidlitart

Happy beginning of September and #kidlitartpostcard day! I’ve been working hard on developing my style & think I finally have it. You can see new work on my site www.pippinmathur.com I would love to illustrate more pbs, chapter books and early gns! Repped by Jennifer Unter. #kidlitpostcard #kidlit

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
It's Friday! Your assignment this weekend: Hang out in a bookstore or library. Spend time with the books. Chat with the booksellers & librarians. Enjoy the community. This is activism. Your presence energizes these spaces & these spaces need energy. Have a great weekend!
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
What’s eating your strawberries? It might not be what you think…. Garden hobgoblins, anyone? #illustration #kidlit #childrensbookillustration #procreateart #procreate #kidlitart #childrensbooks #childrensbookart #illustrationforkids #picturebooks
An example of my second round of paneling as I work on my graphic novel pitch. Red pencils for panels and some art “gestures”, blue notes are art guides, and black is script/dialogue. I sketch alternative panel layouts to the side and make general notes in the margins. #graphicnovel
Picked up The Anxious Generation and it’s quite illuminating for our relationship with technology and how it’s shaping childhood (in detrimental ways). Highly recommend and I’m only just beginning it! #anxiousgeneration #technology
I learned that Tove Jansson was born today, August 9th, in 1914 - So here’s some Moomin fan art to celebrate! #illustration #kidlit #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #childrensbooks #illustrationforkids #picturebooks #moomin #tovejansson
Another day, another old film and another gorgeous dress. Deborah Kerr in An Affair to Remember. #vintagefashion
Yesterday was my birthday and @stavesacre.bsky.social got me the loveliest flowers! I’ve underestimated how happy fresh flowers make me. Instant space brightener. 🤍
I don’t know man, the utter abandonment of environmentalism we’ve been careening towards in the 2020s is kind of…I don’t know. Anyone who thinks the planet can take a tripling of plastics production in the next thirty years is either delusional or hates the world and I’m really struggling with that.
Got around to a #kidlitpostcard today! Hobgoblins and nasturtiums! Open to work! #illustration #kidlit #childrensbookillustration #procreateart #procreate #kidlitart #childrensbooks #illustrationforkids #picturebooks #graphicnovelart #middlegradebooks #kidlitpostcardday
Publishers need us more than we need them. Without us, they would be able to do nothing. The only way to survive what is coming is to build it back sustainably, together, and without ego.
Kelly Fitzpatrick@wastedwings.bsky.social · last yr.This is 100% true. I’ve watched too many of my friends die young or deal with chronic illness that stress heavily contributes to. I hope one day things will be better for everyone. 🫶🫶🫶
Been studying graphic novel page and frame progressions by copying the variations down for some books I own. I love how different they have been so far, yet they all get us to understand a story. #graphicnovel #illustrator
Been reading Scott McCloud’s “Making Comics” and wow, I get what all the fuss is about…So helpful and I love having more understanding of how to make comics and graphic novels intuitive. #comics #graphicnovels #makingcomics
I’ve been working on exploring new styles lately (linework and simplified color to go with the graphic novel I’m developing) and it’s been an interesting process. I redid the color on this 3 times bc I’m trying to evaluate my own process in relation to the outcome. #graphicnovelart #illustration
