The thing about comics is that people often talk about them like they’re a single genre. They’re all placed together in stores, despite being as different from one another as any other books.
That said, my top recommendation will always be Calvin & Hobbes. Start anywhere at all, they’re wonderful.
Thank you Aislinn!!
Hello, #kidlidartpostcard day!
This piece is a sample from my thesis project that I just completed as a 2025 Pratt BFA Illustration graduate---I'll be sharing some more of this project, soon. It's a Scottish Gaelic folktale I was able to adapt into a forty-page picture book!
Slàinte mhath!
Happy #kidlitartpostcard! Hi I’m Adriane and I enjoy illustrating joyful scenes that bring child-like wonder to life. I am available for picture books, board books, and covers!

power lines going down a back lane, silhouetted against a pink and purple twilight sky. the trees and houses along the lane are all cast in blue shadow. the colours are laid out in a way that suggests the bi flag. very bisexual lighting. a street lamp glows, and some birds flying in the distance.

Color illustration by Lily Seika Jones A salamander wearing a green-black hooded cloak and holding a levitating glowing orb, a squirrel in a green shirt wielding an upright sword, and a hedgehog wearing a brown cloak and carrying a large curved axe stand back to back against an ominous black background facing into the dark together.
