Day 8 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is CARVE. I’m looking forward to picking out and carving pumpkins with my husband while watching ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’. Tradition!

Thanks!

Day 7 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is FUZZY. Ok, so technically this is a wooly bear caterpillar - but he’s just so fuzzy!

That’s a great idea

Thanks, Gina! The hardest part is being uninspired by all of the prompts.

And what's the answer?

Let's see... keeping up with SCBWIArtober. I've never managed to do everyday - going to try this year. One of my sketches pinged something in my brain so I want to develop it into an entire book. I'm also sketching a dummy that I want to start querying in the next year.

Day 6 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is CANDLE. I thought I’d do a very rough value sketch with this one.

Ooh, creepy!

Day 5 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is EYES. I don’t think I need to explain this one.

I’m seriously thinking about developing it into a picture book.

Day 4 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is BIRTHMARK. If a vampire had a birthmark I think would look like a bat.

Love it

Enjoying your bunny's trials.

Creative!

The bear reminds me of Put Me in the Zoo. Were you inspired?

Day 3 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is PHANTOM. I got a bit literary with this one. "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!"

That should be love not Leo! 🫠

This idea ran through my mind as well - glad to see someone did it.

Really cute - and I Leo the color scheme.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! ✨

Today is Day 1 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is SQUASH. A pumpkin is a squash, right?

I've finished the third painting of Family Members as Star Wars Characters series. This is my niece, Cassidy, as Princess Leia. We're having a lot of fun with it.

Sounds glorious.

Yes, it’s for unagented writers.

I’m working on a dummy or trying to. Menopause insomnia is no joke. I also need to put something together for kidlitpostcard day. I’m going to enter a story to Fall Writing Frenzy.

Quote with your yellow art 💛

#kidlitart

I am! Well, I think I am. I’m so happy with my little story I think I may just lay it out for a picture book and skip the contest. I’m torn.

I really love these.
