Me, living in Spain and married to an Argentinian: So, we get to celebrate no matter who wins the World Cup tonight? Neat. My husband: ...😵‍💫 https://static.klipy.com/ii/39f2394ae36df6e199be9eb7c9fa1012/20/68/MsDDpbvs.gif?hh=283&ww=498&mp4=F6OybxT9pxm8H4hDfP&webm=dQQPz3egILgk1

Happy 5 year anniversary to #KidLitArtPostcard day! To celebrate, here is a drawing and throwback pic to my childhood in Cuba (it was my job to pet the dog & collect the eggs). 🎉 #kidlitart #funny #PBs #chapterbooks #kidlit #summer Rep by @litagentsaritza.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Fellow kidlit comic artists: How messy are your first round of sketches? Do you find yourself cleaning them up before sending to editors? I'm rarely, if ever, brave enough to send my first round sketches. 😂 #comicartists #comics #graphicnovels #kidlit #kidlitart #kidscomics #sketches

I'm going on sub with a really funny MG GN (about a clueless prince who'd rather interview monsters than battle them) and, as you might guess, the series is full of cool monsters! But these two are my favorites <3 #kidlitart #middlegrade #middlegradegraphicnovels #MGfantasy #MGmonsters

A year ago, my nephew was born the same day my book was published ... so on Wednesday, we threw an animal themed birthday party for both of them!! 😂 happy birthday to my two favorite babies! #kidlit #animalbooks #earlyreadercomic

The more I draw this early reader #comic, the more I want to pitch an animated show about them! ♥️ - Monster boy scared of all things spooky? ✔️ - Cute ghost friend obsessed with cookies? ✔️ - A (not-so-scary) haunted house with a new monster friend in each ep? ✔️✔️✔️ #Frankie&Boo #kidlitart #spooky

It's a special kind of whiplash to be working on silly kids books, then take a break to help mom set up her will for the care of your special needs, older brother who will be 100% dependant on you,living an ocean away, on the eventual passing of your mom... & then back to drawing burping dragons. 🫠

Halloween is months away but I've been drawing this dynamic duo a lot lately! Frankie Stein is scared of all things scary...so he's not too pleased to find a ghost in his new house. Boo (the ghost) doesn't see what the big deal is. 😂 #kidlitart #FrankieAndBoo #ghost #frankenstein #NotSoScary

I'm rewatching #KPOPDemonHunters for like, the millionth time and it's still such a banger. In my headcanon, Rumi is a total worrywart about training, even as a kid. I'd love to see the next movie feature a kid #Huntrix training montage! Come on Netflix!! 👹⚔️ #Kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard

How wild has 2025 been for you so far? I started 2025 working a totally normal office/admin job and now I sit in an office in a themepark/zoo, illustrating while I listen to the lions roar next door.
