A #kidlitartpostcard that's less kidlit-y this time, why not?

Hello! So happy to share this snow day illustration for this February #KidLitArtPostcard Day from my new book, SAFE CROSSING. I'm Kari Percival and I illustrate picture books. Teresa Kietlinski @bookmarkliterary.bsky.social represents me. Visit me at karipercival.com. #kidlitart #kidlitmega

Don't you just hate it when you write a great story only to find out someone else already wrote AND published it? How dare you travel into the future to steal my idea then go back and publish it before me?

Look mom I'm famous!

Tuesday, January 14th is #PortfolioDay! If you are a creative looking for work, this is the tag for you. Read on to find out how to participate and visit portfolioday.art for more!

Jumping in on the first #KidLitArtPostcard of 2025 fashionably late. But back in Romania, you might still get carolers in the first week of January wishing you a prosperous new year, so it's ok, right? ❄️ www.anawiththekey.com ❄️ Open for new projects and representation.

Cut out some pages from my sketchbook and hopefully will find a new home for them next month.

If you're a creator who: - Takes long break periods - Creates very slowly - Has another full time job or engagement - Struggles with productivity - Is inconsistent I'm sorry to tell you... YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY 💜✨️

Sam understands that some days are for pizza and ice cream and some days are for soup. And she knows that most days have been soup days lately. She just doesn't want the kids at school to know. But when they'll see her "new" dress from Thrifty McGifty they’ll all know. #skypitch #amquerying

Some guidelines for our #skypitch picturebook pitch party. Feel free to post pitches after midnight tonight and before the end of the day tomorrow: boringstorybook.com/skypitch/

Wake up and smell the coffee

Messing around in my sketchbook always reminds me how much I love this whole drawing thing. Too bad my sketchbook is the first thing I toss aside when it gets busy. #kidlit
