Character study of a possum cowboy. In each study, the possum examines himself in the mirror, plays the harmonica, is startled, falls toward a cactus, plays dead, and holds his tail anxiously.

Been pretty heads down working on a picture book dummy, but managed to pull together something for #kidlitartpostcard! Here's a character study of my anxious possum son.

Open to PB and book cover projects!!

An art postcard of a red-haired boy clinging to a selkie skin in a swirl of blue waves and seafoam. Fish jump around him. A hand reaches out to pull him free. The text reads, "Julian Plum," and "author-illustrator, julianplum.com, hello@julianplum.com"

List of 100 things Reagan loves to draw. The image is illustrated in a medieval, illuminated-text style. There are flourishes, floral details, hand-lettered text, little hidden critters, and many other details. There is also a portrait of Reagan drawing at her desk with her two cats, Cash and Jasper. There is also the full written list of 100 things ranging from mythical creatures to autumn leaves to cozy clothing.

Can you tell I've been fascinated by illuminated manuscripts lately? โœจ I'm obsessed with decorative borders, and I'd LOVE to illustrate a book in this style. #kidlitartpostcard

A snippet of a lush, leaf-filled gouache painting showing a grasshopper sparrow sitting on a gray birch branch. It holds a chunky grasshopper in its short beak. Surrounding the bird are fading sundial lupine flowers with emerging seedpods, pink corydalis, and bright yellow partridge pea flowers.

Snippet of a gouache painting showing a green lacewing flying away from its dangling eggs laid on a milkweed leaf. Its transparent wings overlay a lush green background and a bright pink eastern wahoo fruit. Brown maleberry seeds cascade down from the right toward a puff of downy white milkweed seeds flying into the air.

Gouache painting of a forest floor and the soil beneath it. The ground is bursting with Lactarius and saffron milky cap mushrooms, whose mycelia are entwined beneath the soil with the parasitic root ball of the ghost pipe flower. Lacking chlorophyll, the white flowers stand out against the lush green background. A spring peeper and an eastern red newt greet each other from atop mushrooms. Worms wriggle under the earth.

In a backyard a small girl in yellow leans over the white railing of a garden porch to look down at what sits underneath in the grass. Her dark hair drapes over the railing as she spies a purple elephant partially hidden under a pink and yellow check striped blanket peeking back up at her. The porch extends from a brick wall w a door and window. There is a mat beneath the door that reads, โ€œHomeโ€, and many potted plants. Down the porch stairs are more flowering plants with a fence in the background, a tree in the top right corner with a bluebird peering down at the scene, and a pink and yellow butterfly fluttering by. The bottom reads, โ€œMelissa Zurca-Ngโ€ on the left and โ€œmelissazurcang.comโ€ on the right.
