It's been miserable late January weather today, so here's something from warmer places and times - 'Hawaiian Big Daddy' was a book tie-up between JAL and Nikkei BPsha, copies were presented free to children flying from Japan to Honolulu to read on the flight. #kidlitart #japan #hawaii #kidlitUK

Happy weekend all! Whether you are hunting monsters in dark corners or planting yourself on the sofa under a blanket, I hope you have a good one. #kidlitart #illustration

Another one from the sketchbook. Drawn on procreate. #kidlitart

First sketch of 2025! #kidlitart #illustration

A friend has asked me what is a good brand for pens that you can draw with for her teenage daughter who enjoys drawing. I work entirely digitally so I only know the brands I used to use a million years ago. Anyone have any recommendations that I can pass on?? #kidlitart #illustration

Lovely mood to this.

Warm up sketch

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm an illustrator from the UK who's worked on children's picture books, fiction books and more recently art for Little Angel Theatre for their upcoming Spring shows which you can see here. I am rep'd by Lucy at The Plum Agency. www.amberinhuq.com #kidlitart #kidlituk

Sparkly recent things ✨ #kidlit #kidlitart

Been thinking re #ReflectingRealities report and the fact that publishing has gone backwards in terms of representation (including publishing authors of colour being published with big marketing and fanfare - in fact more that than character based representation). booksforkeeps.co.uk/wp-content/u...

There is a lot more I could do with this painting but I really like how it came out. Noodled on my beloved procreate

Hello #kidlitart folks! I thought I'd post some more of my work on here seeing as it's #nationalillustrationday #kidlituk

How is it December next week? Where did the time go?

If you see this, QRP a room. #kidlituk #kidlitart #illustration

Just saw a nice post on Insta from @waterstoneskids.bsky.social, with #MichaelMorpurgo talking about his new book, Cobweb - which I'm using as an excuse for blatant self-promotion! I've been very fortunate to illustrate several new covers for the recent re-release of his back-catalogue. #kidlitart
