A grey rabbit in a pretty blue polka-dot dress with a carrot-patterned apron over it holds up a two-tiered carrot cake that she has just baked and frosted. The cake holds a single lit candle. This was drawn as a Draw This in Your Style challenge: The original character design was by Anastasiia Panchenko (@lapin.siia on IG)
A sunny summer scene at a tiny tea table outside a rustic cottage surrounded by bushes and trees. A young witch, surrounded by frogs and wearing purple robes and a witch's hat, talks animatedly to an ordinary looking boy. They're both holding teacups but he's looking VERY nervously at his, and also at the frog on the table. The book title reads "The Tea Witch's Retreat" with the author's name "Christina Warwick."
Luigi (from the Mario Bros games) in a rockabilly style. He's got a black and green bowling shirt in with an "L" embroidered on his chest, rolled-cuff jeans and Converse All-Stars. He's also got a large pompadour, sideburns, and lots of Mario-related tattoos. He's holding a large plumber's wrench.
In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The book cover title is "Boarding School Werewolf" by Jo Barnett. At the top of the cover, it says "School can be a transformative experience."
Because it's my birthday, you have to repost my art. 🎂
(I don't make the rules, that's just the way it is on Bluesky!)

12 yrs after my debut, after many rejections, I'm thrilled this new book is finally happening! Seeing my baby react to Eric Carle's books reminded me of the true power of children's stories. I poured that passion into my coming book. I hope it brings joy and laughter to families worldwide! #kidlit

Illustration of a giant squid, a duckling and a kid in a bathtub. The squid is looking curious trying to get the attention of the kid with its tentacles. The child is looking right at us in fear. The duckling is standing between the two, wings spread out, trying to defend the kid.
Happy June #kidlitartpostcard 🌞

Our thoughts are with the beautiful souls who departed 14 years ago today.
311 is the day Japan was struck by the tragedy of the earthquake.
My daughter came home with many plum blossoms in her pocket.
We are thankful for everyday life.
