Hey look! It's #kidlitartpostcard day!
Couldn’t resist remaking this theater ghost light image as a properly moody black and white charcoal drawing.

A spread of a half-t-rex, half-monster-truck on a parade float in the evening surrounded by all his friends. There are two little candy birds holding a banner that says "We love you, Truckosaurus!" There are fireworks in the sky and confetti everywhere.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is a spread I illustrated from Truckosaurus, which came out earlier this week. Written by Karen Shapiro, art directed by John Aardema, editor Kerry Finnamore.

While waiting for my kid to finish his swimming. Never in my wildest dreams ever imagined I would ever be a swim parent, but life is what it is.

Children's book illustration from Truckosaurus, a picture book written by Karen Shapiro and due to be published by Sourcebooks in March 2026. It depicts a half-truck, half dinosaur playing jump rope with an axolotl and a laser-toothed tiger with glow-in-the-dark pythons in the background. Everyone is wearing party hats. I really enjoyed working on this insanely fun book.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day!

My name is Ana and I'm an illustrator who loves drawing bright, magical scenes. For this month's postcard, I drew a scene from my favorite book series growing up: The Chronicles of Narnia.

An illustration of children and their dog enjoying their day in a field of sea pinks, on an island somewhere I imagine in the northern hemisphere, reading and drawing while surrounded by puffins. Done in Procreate.

Copies of the Paw Patrol books I illustrated earlier this year arrived just in time for Christmas :) I had a lot of fun with these books and especially loved designing around the tiers and holes.

An illustration of a child with a bunch of birds facing forward. Birds include a Major Mitchell Cockatoo, a blue footed Booby and a Barn Owl. The boy still has his net for some reason, and there are still no insects to be found.

When my partner saw my previous #kidlitartpostcard he challenged me to make a forward-facing version. So here it is!

I love illustrating busy scenes, vibrant colours and silly animals ❤️
