Orange-toned children’s book illustration of a family at a fall festival. An older man sits on a haystack and plays pumpkin chess with his grandkid while a couple cousins watch (one about to bite an Apple cider donut), surrounded by pumpkins. A parent with coffee looks to the side with a worried smile as their child presents a pumpkin that is about as big as they are! Underneath is text that says β€œKris Easler, rep’d by Jen RofΓ©, kriseasler.com”

Two kids are standing at the top of the staircase in front of a large framed portrait of a couple. One of the kids is holding a flashlight, unaware that the kid behind them is waving hello to the transparent green ghost emerging from the painting, who is also waving back.

Illustration in a range of brown and peach colors of a giant rabbit with a little boy in pajamas on his back. They are seemingly flying over a sleeping town while they look out at the sun rising over the ocean in the distance

Greyscale illustration of a white fluffy cat atop a fireplace mantel, which is decorated for Christmas. The cat is looking at the viewer while tumping a lit candle over the edge of the mantle, onto a pile of kindling and firewood. 

The illustration is done with pen and ink line work. The values are flat washes of grey scale.

Hi #kidlitartpostcard ! A little cat art for today. I think it captures the current emotional moment πŸ™ƒ
