So cute!!

Nice, I admire that. I haven’t drawn for myself in a while 😅

The left side is a detailed painting of brown undergrowth filled with dry leaves, twigs and bugs. Orange mushrooms and small green leaves burst through while two small green characters with leaves on their heads hold hands. The right side is white with text that reads: illustrator-author/ANNA DAVISCOURT/annadaviscourt@gmail.com/annadaviscourt.com Made with acrylic gouache and colored pencils on Bristol paper.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!
I'm Anna, an author/illustrator from the PNW. I'm a fan of patterns, nature and loveable characters-all culminating in this ode to the undergrowth!

Summer is almost over aka my daughter is going back to school soon and I don't want it to enddd😭 It went by so fast this year..!

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

That’s amazing!!!!’ Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you 🙏 I hope you like it!
