Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I am available for illustration projects and I have several book dummies available on request. You can contact me or my agent @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social @bradfordagents.bsky.social #KidLit

It’s another #kidlitpostcard day and I wanted to celebrate diversity! I’m rep’d by @annebrightart at @the_bright_agency - I adore books that celebrates a variety of people. I love making my characters dance and move and flow. I love depicting movement. Also, I love to add a vintage vibe to my work.

An unused illustration from a book dummy that I might revisit in the future, for July's #KidLitArtPostcard day 🌌 Look out for the Perseid meteor shower in a few weeks! More work here: NicolaSchofield.com Rep by @sallymkim.bsky.social at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #kidlitart #illustration #pb
