Some closeups of my kidlit postcard that I forgot to include. I don't usually like square compositions but these turned out okay.

Illustration of a bunch of kids playing and hanging out underneath a busy overpass. The children on the right wearing Malaysian primary school uniforms which are standard throughout the nation. The ones on the left are in their school sports clothes. Most Malaysian children are bilingual, and our traffic signs are in several languages.

Three kids riding on a back of a giant anteater. One is taking a photo of the anteater’s face, middle kid is happily raising hands in the air, third kid is afraid to fall from anteater’s tail. The anteater is very unhappy and cranky
