𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧’s story continued ... A world so very different from his stripes💈, lines & rigid world he knows, it feels out of this world 🌌 #scbwiillustrator #childrensbookillustrator

Train Conductor Puppet dressed in stripes is traveling in a tin can made to look like a teain/plane for the #scbwidrawthis prompt Travel. He looks as if he has burst through paper and left through a spotted cave. It's on a train track, and the word he has entered is blue and spots all around. #scwbi #scbwiillustrators

‘𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭’ is this months #scbwidrawthis prompt & I felt the need to continue 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧’s story...

A train looking item made of recycled materials like tin cans and bottle caps restis on a papermache moon showing in progress photo of a #kidlitartillustration for illustration portfolio potentially a childrens picture book for #scwbi letters and lines confrence blue background & green flooring artist ##authorillustrator Lexi Richey

Testing out & mocking up. Building a portfolio for #kidlitartillustration & #drawthis prompts...perhaps even turning this into its own childrens picture book !? Such a fun process!

So cute!! They all look ready for adventure!

Small stop-motion figure stands back lit orange-like light, like the sun behind the children's book character, and green on the floor like grass. His hair is wild and finger pointing upward, silhouetted. This is a test run for a Children’s Picture book, illustrated by Lexi Richey, and author Illustrator in Colorado

I'm trying to nail down the silhouette with my character, so playing with shadows & lights!

Writing & illustrating a #ChildrensPictureBook 'bout being 𝑺𝑻𝑼𝑪𝑲 in a 📖& getting stuck ✍️ feels very meta 😆 #ProjectSticky coming soon w/ a side of BTS & resources I'm leaning on like @scbwi.bsky.social when I do S͎t͎u͎c͎k͎! Plot twists, inciting incidents, & harrowing conclusions included. 🖱Open 🎥 to⌚️👀

A little striped conductor ponders at why he is plopped in on a #kidlitartpostcard The words above him in Yellow, Blue & Pink read Lexi Richey Author Illustrator & list out contact info

Jumping in on #kidlitartpostcard day! New to the realm of Kid Literature, so thought I'd '𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌' mine in!

The name is Lexi. I'm an Author×Illustrator, workin' w/ Mixed Media & have upcycled tendencies. Seeking an agent & will be pitching a Children’s PB about being 𝑺𝑻𝑼𝑪𝑲 in a book soon!

Right? Like how it it possible that all these beautiful, colorful, flying little ornaments sprinkle our skys!?

Thank you!! Got a few more ideas in the pipeline too! Lovin' all your work!!

The making of: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧. This little guy has become the conductor of his own story! I scribbled a short backstory for him, & now I kinda want to follow the 💡 train & see where the tracks take us! Maybe create more dimension with the background & hone in on some more skills🖍 #scbwi

😆😂 Nope!
