This is my first #kidlitartpostcard!

Hello! I'm Julianna, an illustrator & author. I'm open for kids art projects in 2026! I usually do PB, but I'd love to do BB, puzzles, games, & surface design!

I found a list of "unusual color names" on Tumblr a million years ago & I've started doing an illustration for each one, just for fun. Here's what I've done so far

The third and last book in the Book Uncle trilogy I've illustrated for Groundwood Books & the author Uma Krishnaswami is coming out in August!🦀

A available for Pre-order everywhere or request from your local library!

A sheet of illustrated cute bee stickers and flowers on a pink background

Bee stickers🐝in my shop!

Also Charles Darwin! They get lighter after a few days blooming

A collection of elaborately decorative antique door hardware including an escutcheon decorated with bees around the keyhole

Have you ever fallen in love with an escutcheon? The bees!❤️

Wow good guesses! Yes, Charles Darwin, Jude the Obscure, & Carding Mill!

I didn't trim my roses back this winter & now they have so many blooms they are shading out the peonies & the garden is in complete chaos 😅

Ditch Audible, friends. Amazon doesn't need more money. Use Libby (supports public libraries) or Libro FM (supports indie bookstores) instead.

Proposal: When discussing automation, replace the notional always-on, maintenance-free robot helper you're imagining with the average real-world printer you've encountered.

The more expensive and complex the printer, the more potential issues and "having a printer guy".

A much better baseline.

I've been working on some flowers to expand my note cards available for wholesale, since I might not be able to order washi tape ever again.

I know! That's how he gets away with (plant) murder 😂

A striped tabby cat with eyes closed sitting in the sunshine

He looks cute but woke me up at 6am knocking a houseplant off a shelf & then puking up the leaf he'd nibbled off it. Happy Monday!

These lions are probably my favorite designs from my shop update✨

SO excited about the upcoming release of "Consider the Birds," book one of The Consider Series. It was featured in "Fall 2025 Releases for Children" in Publishers Weekly: bit.ly/4jlKOcA. @eerdmansbooks.bsky.social

Tangerine tea, from a few years ago🍊

Coming soon to my shop!

I'll be updating my shop this Saturday with new washi tape, stickers, hardcover notebooks and even, sweatshirts & mugs!

A peek at a cute book coming out later this year.

I've struggled with hating how I draw birds for a long time, but I think I finally figured it out: make them round!

Thanks so much!

Thanks!☺️

Finally making some progress on some new washi tape designs

How cute is this book cover? I also like the author's bio

Photo of an iPad with a drawing of a cat reading a book and the text "For Loving A Book" written on a ribbon banner under it.

I've been working on some designs for mugs to sell in my shop 😺 I have a few free posts up on my Patreon where you can see my inspo and a few more of the designs in progress

watercolor and pencil illustration of two white wolves standing against a simple white and black background made to look like snow against a dark sky. One wolf is large and shot with arrows, the other small and childlike. The wolves are almost touching noses; the child looks up at the face of the injured wolf, not understanding. The mood is somber and sad

Inside me are two wolves...and one of them is effing tired

I'm making French onion soup for the first time.🧅 Wish me luck!
