Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m Mark Wilson, an author and illustrator. I’m looking to work on adventurous, whimsical, and downright hilarious projects. I am rep’d for books, interior illustrations, and covers by @acolvincreative #kidlitart #childrensbooks #illustration #kidlitillustration
That feeling when you're able to quit a creatively oppressive and toxic day job to pursue your dream of full-time illustration. I've taken the plunge into freelance! I'll be specializing in picture books but available for simpler illustration needs, as well! #kidlitillustrator #picturebooks
Major Hubble to Ground Control: Due to an unexpected abnormality (possibly gravity,) my destination has transitioned from ‘The Moon’ to… the sandbox. I will claim this uncharted territory for hamster-kind. Send pellets. #kidlitartpostcard #scbwiny26 #kidlitart
Leave the coal. Take the milk and cookies. Santa never gets his hands dirty with the naughty list. #naughtylist #kidlitart #kidlitillustrator #christmaseve
I'm a little late for #kidlitartpostcard day, but for good reason! I've been buried in client work on top of honing my author-illustrator skills in a mentorship with the Caroline Wakeman Literary Agency! Planning on having a dummy for "Bad Mood Ballet" ready for #SCBWI in NYC in January! #kidlitart
Happy #kidlitartpostcard day for November! Big news with this one! I’m officially throwing my hat into the author-illustrator ring! Under the tutelage of the wonderful team at @carolinewakemanliterary I’ll have a polished manuscript and book dummy ready for display at the @scbwi NY conference!

Inktober Day 5: Deer Neither remember WHY they met every Thursday for lattes, only that they DID. #inktober #inktober2025 #inktobear #inktoberdeer #kitlitart
A little recap of the first 4 Inktober prompts! Decided to keep it simple this year due to all the irons I've got in the fire at the moment! #inktober #inktober2025 #kidlitart #inktobear
Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m an author-illustrator who loves to dive into the deep questions like “where do pumpkin spice lattes come from?” I’m booked through the end of the 2025, but am open to projects in March 2026!
Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm a freelance illustrator specializing in picture books that are as heart-warming as they are hilarious! I'm booked through the end of this year, but still have room in 2026 and am seeking representation! #kidlit #kidlitart #scbwi

They say if you’re out on the pier late at night when the fog rolls in, you might hear it. Not the crash of waves. Not the creak of old wood. But… music. Wheezing… warbling… sea-soaked polka music. The locals just whisper, "Accordion Shark..." and subconsciously begin tapping their toes. #kidlit
Hello again #kidlitartpostcard community and happy July! While the rest my 2025 is currently booked (yay!) I’m definitely interested in begging to fill out 2026 (and maybe even obtain representation in the meantime!) #kidlit

The chef was proud His kitchen was clean His corn dogs crisp With golden sheen But creeping close With sneaky paws Came a hungry raccoon With sticky claws He snatched the bag In one quick dash The tasty treats Were gone in a flash No shame being caught red-handed He was the little CornDog bandit
Happy May #kidlitartpostcard Day to all my fellow illustrators out there! I'm currently open for projects in the second half of 2025 and also seeking representation! If you're looking for an artist with a sense of humor, adventure, and fuzzy feelings you can find me at www.mwilsonillustration.com
Finally getting around to my contribution to the #starterpacknoai trend! #kidlitartist #humanartist #noai #kidlitart
