An illustration of children and their dog enjoying their day in a field of sea pinks, on an island somewhere I imagine in the northern hemisphere, reading and drawing while surrounded by puffins. Done in Procreate.

Copies of the Paw Patrol books I illustrated earlier this year arrived just in time for Christmas :) I had a lot of fun with these books and especially loved designing around the tiers and holes.

An illustration of a child with a bunch of birds facing forward. Birds include a Major Mitchell Cockatoo, a blue footed Booby and a Barn Owl. The boy still has his net for some reason, and there are still no insects to be found.

When my partner saw my previous #kidlitartpostcard he challenged me to make a forward-facing version. So here it is!

I love illustrating busy scenes, vibrant colours and silly animals โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ€Male and female rats like to be tickled differently - males prefer rougher play.
๐ŸคฃHow do we know? Rats produce ultrasonic giggles that can be monitored with a bat detector.
๐ŸงชWhy is this relevant? To improve lab animal welfare.

Ah, to tickle rats for a living...โ™ฅ๏ธ
