A girl has gotten a star shaped sticker stuck in her eye backstage at a tween girls’ ballet recital, and it’s time for them to go on to perform! Her ballet classmates are whispering and urging her to get back in line so they can perform the dance they’ve been preparing for! In the background, their teacher looms menacingly. They better not miss their cue!

Hurry girls, don’t miss your cue! Or else! 🩰🫟 #kidlitart #illustration

It undermines the fact that good writing takes work. Good writers don't spawn out of magic mushrooms, skills honed and perfected.

You gotta write your way to the goodness. There are no shortcuts.

Digital color illustration of an elevated subway platform in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. It’s snowing enormous round flakes and between them, you can see people on the opposite platform bundled up and walking off their Q train. It’s all very gray and flat.

Biiiig snowflakes in Brighton Beach from a few weeks ago - finally finished the drawing! β˜ƒοΈ hopefully with enough time left before everyone moves on to springtime πŸ˜…πŸͺ»

A ghost kid is surrended by a black girl and a kid with a pumpkin head. There are in the middle of a town square at night with cute ghosts everywhere.

a 9-panel grid format showcasing the "art vs. artist" end of year meme. in the center of the grid features a photo of the artist, a lightskinned black person wearing clear glasses, a mariners baseball cap, and life preserver. surround the photo are 8 pieces of art that were completed during the year 2024, including black and white art of a figure standing in the shade of cottonwood trees, a snowy expanse of settlement in the utah territory of 1859, and orange & blue toned comic pages from the work BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. These pages show a Black person waist deep in water, standing among tall trees, and a textured hand pushing out from an acidic sea.

Things are becoming, I just need to be patient.

A digital illustration of a row of apartment buildings in Brooklyn. Each window is lit up in a different color light, some decorated for Christmas, Hanukkah, and the winter solstice. Outside, it’s nighttime and starting to snow. A black cat stretches on the roof, illuminated by the full moon.

One of my favorite things about the sun setting so early is being able to peek into other people’s lives πŸŒ› I’ve always been really inspired by that little glance into someone else’s world! #kidlitart #illustration

Illustration of a brown skinned woman in a festive red dress. She holds gift bags in one hand and boxed presents up in the other in a stack. Her dark hair is pulled up in the shape of a Christmas tree with lights and baubles. She has green bauble dangly earrings.

she’s making a list, she’s checking it twice
