I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your belief that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder will fix you is a valid one.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is not worthy of your friendship.

A cardboard car painted red like Lightning McQueen!

as a kid, my mum always took the extra time to create us homemade halloween costumes and i am so excited to continue that with my own kiddos now ♥️🚗

i’ll post updates as i go with this project over this week !!! excited to have McQueen come to LIFE!

A fox is waving his hands around a waterballoon (pretending to be a crystal ball) and a little mouse is holding a flashlight downbelow in the corner. Starry curtains above them

an #ablartfest illustration for the prompt “the crystal ball reveals…”

wanted to show these two buddies again - and thought what would kids have as a crystal ball? A waterballoon!

A fox and mouse duo have different fall activities. The top is painting pumpkins, a fox is painting a pumpkin and a mouse has put a pumpkin on his head. The middle illustration, the fox is poking out of a large leaf pile throwing leaves, and mouse is about to jump in. The bottom illustration shows the two friends trick or treating, fox is dressed up as an astronaut and mouse is an alien

happy fall y’all!

A boy in an astronaut suit is cheersing his hot cocoa with a googly eyed alien in space. Little tiny aliens surround them, one trying to eat the floating marshmallows. Scribbly sparkly star background

A yellow bus sits at the bus stop while animals hurry to catch it! we see birds flying in with a lunchbox, a fox carrying way too many books, a mother bear offering her bear kiddo lunch, a skunk crossing guard is helping a disabled dog across the street and a turtle is late for the bus!

Firefighting team! A dog in uniform is holding the trunk of a purple elephant. Three frogs are slung over the elephant, one on a ladder and two uptop on the head - these frogs are holding up a siren and calling into a megaphone

A little tree stump house is covered with mushrooms and foliage, it has windows and a door - a mouse holding a cup of tea says hello to the mailman bee, who is holding up a letter for the mouse

Great Horned Owl art by Sadee Schilling rendered in watercolor and cut paper collage. The artist holds the finished assemblage with detailed, layered feathers and textured watercolor washes in earthy blues, violets, and browns. A watercolor painting of a tree in a similar color palette peeks out from behind the owl.

I’ve been regulating my nervous system this week and warming up for a commission with this new great-horned owl cut paper #collage. It’s likely one of the only #calmtober prompts I’ll get to, though I’m still enjoying everyone else’s illustrations! #watercolor #cutpaper #owl #calmtober25

A digital drawing of a dark background with lots of strawberries on top. The strawberries are bright red and white, and the leaves are a soft yellowy green.

A drawing for #peachtober prompt "strawberry"!

Reading Rainbow Returns With New Host and Celebrity Guest Stars Reading Rainbow is back after almost 20 years! The beloved children's TV program — which ran for 26 years before wrapping in 2006 — is celebrated for fostering childhood reading and literacy.

Reading Rainbow is back, with Mychel the Librarian! people.com/reading-rain...

A bonus is during a meltdown i can usually say “back beast! Back to your infernal pit!” and giggles quickly come 😂

The Princess in Black books are a TREASURE!!! My 4yo is obsessed and we go to the library and take out the ones she doesnt own (begging me to get them for xmas) my kids even act out all the ‘battle phrases’!!

Collage & paint illustration: A slug looking into a bathroom mirror and imagining itself a champion with a medal

What’s your life’s dream? Tell me all about it!

This is FANTASTIC!!!

Oh no! Makes sense to have to sell it, but still a bummer! Mine is actually given to me for my job since i work from home, i’ve had it about a year now - honestly i dont really use the touch bar its too advanced 🙃🤪

i have to hide all my WIP stuff from my kiddos otherwise my 2 year old will rip it up and destroy it all 🙈

plus - thinking about filming a process video but i just dont even know how to start?! and my lighting is so bad when im working at 2am …

oh the dream for just an extra lil office space 🙏

A sketchbook sitting on the table with slug sketches. Paints and brushes in the background plus a laptop playing The Office

i see so many lovely and cute artsy setups that artists have but this is me!

i set everything up once my kids are in bed and of course, the office playing ep after ep so i can giggle at the show while i work

and then i pack it all up before bed so my little goblins dont touch my stuff 😅
