Hello #KidLitArtPostcard day followers. It’s February and I feel like we are all looking for something, even if it’s just a small treat.

Three years ago I took this photo, which lead to the illustration last year, which lead to me experimenting more with a new style which then lead me to new illustration work. Inspiration hides all around us the trick is to take the time to notice.

Hey #KidLitArtPostcard What do you call a turkey after thanksgiving? …. Lucky! I’m Jason Hart and I’m an author/illustrator seeking representation with Dummies available!

It’s #KidLitArtPostcard and I wouldn’t mind being transported to another world - how about you?

Seagulls love sunny summer days. They laugh and play. They stretch and soar. But when the sky darkens to a threatening gray, gulls hunker down preparing for the coming storm. All but one …. Hope, she has the courage stand strong and weather the storm, do you? #SEL #skypitch #authorillustrator

Some things are too complicated, other times they are too simple, But you know when everything is just right. Join Goldilocks and the Three Waterbears in their quest for the perfect science fair project in this playful #STEM twist on Goldilocks and the Three bears. #skypitch #authorillustrator

Missing socks? Unexplained messes? General household mischief? You may blame gremlins, mercury in retrograde, or your pets - but it could be a Minisaurus Rex living in your home! #humor #skypitch #authorillustrator

If it’s on a sticker - it must be official 😉

Happy May #kidlitartpostcard day. I’m Jason Hart and I’ve been painting digital watercolors lately. I’m also an author illustrator who is seeking representation with dummies available on request

I’ve been sharing the new stuff I’ve been experimenting with a lot lately, but rest assured I’m still working in my original style too! Here’s my day late #portfolioday post with scenes from my current project. Dummy available on request.

Happy April #kidlitartpostcard day! I’ve been experimenting with digital water colors and it’s been a lot of fun moving in a new direction :) #illustration #kidlitart

Here’s a little something that’s completely different than what I posted yesterday - but I’m still sharing because I feel like sharing #kidlitart #illustration

I’m sharing illustrations from current project just because I feel like sharing #kidlitart

Hey kidlit illustrators, I’d like to gift a free, one-hour, portfolio-review/coaching-session. 1) reply with a sample of your art. 2) repost this message. I’ll pick a winner at random from those who do both. Win or lose, I’ll take a close look at every reply. 💙❤️

Now that we are comfortably into the new year - I’m back on the #amquerying train and just added 27 agents accepting submissions from #authorillustrators to my list. The goal is to #query them all by the end of the month. 🤞🏻Alphabears catches someone’s eye! #author #illustration

My latest adventure in digital watercolors. Still trying to decided if this is a new direction or a new distraction?

Welcome to 2024 - it’s a new year and I’m exploring a new style! Happy to share it with the #kidlitartpostcard crowd :)

Welcome to the holiday season edition of #KidLitArtPostcard day. I’ve been trying out some new techniques I thought I’d share along with some well wishes for whatever you are celebrating these days.

I have submitted Alphabears to 16 agents and one art director this week #amquerying with 3 rejections so far. How many queries do you think I can get out next week? #authorillustrator

After taking a break from the #amquerying trenches to adjust to some life changes, it feel honestly feels good to be back at it with a book that I love. I’m proud of myself for getting back to it! #kidlit #authorillustrator

I started my #amquerying journey back up again after taking some time off. It feels a lot like this drawing from the project I’m querying

Well it’s a little late but is still #PortfolioDay so I thought I’d share mine storieswithhart.com

Not sure if it’s better to say I’m dipping my toes into blue sky or flapping my arms in an attempt to fly - but I’m here now and looking to connect with #kidlit folks and #authorillustrators see more about me here if you are curious
