This may be the best unintentional composition I've ever created.

A couple favorite sweaters through the years! I like short sleeves!

I dyed my hair to match this comic.

I really dislike Ai but when I search stuff I sometimes get the summary. I try not to read it, but today I skimmed and saw this....
Tell me again why Ai is great?

But wait, there's more! #hourlycomicday

Wanna read my #hourlycomicday comics? I made it to 4:30,ok! That's pretty good.

A watercolor illustration of two mice in a snow storm. One mouse is at the top of a hill giving a hand to help the other mouse up. They are dressed in colorful snow gear.

Why was stuff like that so fun? See adults would complain!

Illustration of a young brown-skinned girl in a yellow sweater, a pink scarf, and a pink beanie. She’s wearing yellow glasses and her hair and scarf are blowing in the wind as a cool winter breeze gently blows around her. She looks like she enjoys soaking up winter.

❄️ Happy First #kidlitartpostcard Day of 2026! ❄️

2026 is a great year for mice in my opinion!

Two mice put bread bags on their feet

Once again it's #kidlitartpostcardday !
I'm Julia and when I was a kid we didn't have snow boots so we would put bread bags on our feet to go sledding!
I dream of making a cozy mouse book!

Two mice snuggle and read in a watercolor painting.

It's my 2025 Christmas card! The mice are back this year! I was inspired by Christmas past, when my sister and I would make paper chains and homemade Advent calendars. Then on Christmas Eve we would snuggle up and read... My little mice are reading something special...

"Mrs.Mills, is this water?"

This is why I'm tired.

Working on a dummy.... :-)

A small fluffy dog stands on a pile of decapitated stuffed animals in a parody of 80's movie posters.

Tiny started out as a joke but then I ended up having fun with it. Maybe I'm in my 80's flashback era?

Found my pandemic era journal/writing idea book. Wow. That was heavy.

I'm a blanket-that-weighs-87-pounds person and my husband is a light covering person.

@mrwolfcomics.bsky.social I feel seen with the separate blankets in this book!
Loving "Speechless"!

So no one told me there's a part in writing when you have all the plot figured out and you are just adding little character stuff and it's so fun and rewarding. You're just making little connections that run through the story.

I'm writing and I used the phrase "inched closer". What do they say in metric, centimetred closer?

Shower, coffee or tea, nap. The trifecta

A gouache illustration of a goat parking at a table full of delicious pastries. The goat's mouth is watering in anticipation.

I made it to #kidlitartpostcard day!
I'm Julia, I'm a writer and illustrator and public school art teacher! I love friendship stories and funny animals.
Also goats have very strange eyes!

Digital colored pencil illustration of a witch knitting a scarf, which is being shred by her cat in the background.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!! 🎃🦇🧙‍♀️

I opened my classroom door this week for Fiber Friday and there were like 25 kids who wanted to crochet. I felt like a rock star.

I've never felt more seen

A tiny fluffy dog biting the head off of a stuffed animal in front of an apocalyptic scene.

I flew on an airplane for the first time in a decade and to combat my fears I drew this. Inspired by Greta, my bestie's dog who ate the salt water taffy I brought. Whole. With the wrappers.
I really want to go full 80's Boris Vallejo with this one.

In typical art teacher fashion I can't throw away pretty scrap paper. Brayer paper is one of my favorite textures ever!!

I know this is incredibly silly but the lighting and the way this table was constructed made it look like the crumbs were levitating.
