Hi #kidlitartpostcard ☀️

Greetings from Bologna to the kidlit community! I’m Martina, an Austrian illustrator with a passion for everything artsy, cultures, festivities and lush nature scenes. I‘d love to hear from you :)

*blushing*

I have almost forgotten how to do this - #kidlitartpostcard, anyone? Wheeeee!

I am Gila, author-illustrator from Germany. Quirky, cute, fairly commercial, currently querying a new dummy. Send chocolate!

I... think... maybe... I broke my creative slump? Have a new dummy, playing with a new style, got a ton of PBParty requests, started querying again yesterday... progress? (ask me again in a couple weeks how *that* is going.)

Back from vacation, have escaped my creative slump, now querying my (oh my gawd, so many😍) #PBParty requests... I guess I am back? :)

Any idea if and when you are open to PB queries again? Just started querying all PBParty requests (I made illustration showcase "only," don't think you considered those this year?) But would hate missing out on querying Tobias/ you. :)

Oooooh, my copies made it to Germany! Oy, Santa, written by Joyce Schriebman
- terrific unique take on explaining why Hanukkah is not "the Jewish Xmas."

Includes Mrs Claus in a bikini. And cats. Many cats.

French Bulldog - Pomeranian mix. :) She got the build from her spitz dad, and the fur from her mom... maybe...

Not doing much social media these days. But... added to my real-life social life. Meet Mokka.

Turbo Pascal. Got a D- in exam, because I drew a croissant. Not a single answer was correct.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard!

I am Gila, illustrator from Germany. I love drawing critters, foliage, and whacky funny stories. www.gila.be

Getting my business cards (and dummies! and postcards!) ready for #bcbf24 - and #kidlitartpostcard. :)

Happy #KidlitArtPostcard day!

I am Gila, author-illustrator from North Germany. I love getting lost in funny details, cute critters, and wild foliage. Available for picture and chapter books.

Please tell me this is an actual pic of you from that time... we can trade vespa pics!

I wouldn't touch a Trump USA, no matter the state's governor. And yes, UK is over too. There has to be SONEWHERE safe? Anywhere?

Also, schreib die Neuauflage! Und ich schicke dem Verlag dann gerne mein Portfolio, Vögel kann ich. :)

So where is everyone moving? My choices were always Germany, Netherlands, USA, Israel. Not in that order.

I am f* everywhere. So GO - give me tolerant, liberal countries without extreme weather disasters.

Your kid has the bestest of birthdays! Jan 14 gals are awesome. Happy bday!

Happy #Portfolioday to all who celebrate. :) I am Gila, kidlit illustrator from Germany. I like experimenting with media, as long as the end result is my kind of cute. Extra points if I get to draw cats. www.gila.be

What I am doing this month.

Jetzt noch Schitt's Creek Kostüm...

I have zero time, but taking this as a sign... see ya Tuesday!

Wow, it's the first #KidLitArtPostcard day for 2024! I'm Kent Culotta, an author/illustrator currently seeking representation, (hint, hint!) Check out my latest book Tow Truck 1,2,3. Written by Eric Ode and published by Kane Miller.

Let's start the year with a BANG! #kidlitartpostcard

I am Gila, author-illustrator from Germany. I love critters, foliage, and hiding my cat in all books.

#unagented, so agents, editors, art directors... get in touch! www.gila.be

Ah, my beloved toodeloo list...

SAVE THE DATE: I plan to re-open to queries in select categories starting January 8, 2024. Please note that I am not acquiring YA at this time. You can find what I'm looking for here: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sa...

So... non-GN illustrator could query with folio only? I have no GN ambitions, but strong PB folio, and looking to age up a bit this spring.

❤️ It has been a week...

Bye, little clown. You were a good boi.
