I only ever built sets, but there is something cool about theaters. No matter if they are filled with an audience or completely empty.

Thanks!

Hey look! It's #kidlitartpostcard day!
Couldn’t resist remaking this theater ghost light image as a properly moody black and white charcoal drawing.

Congratulations! It was great to see this at the F&G stage and even better that it can added to the PNCA library!

Halo Book Birthday…!! Singing Justice Singing Peace: The Story of Joan Baez is out now! 🫶🏼🕊️

Just like Joan, we each have a part to play in this fight for a better world, and it all starts with your voice.

It’s always fun when a friend from high school finds a drawing you made at 17 — and you realize you’ve been making pretty much the same image in one form or another ever since.

Thanks to @shannoncurtis.bsky.social for a trip down memory lane!

Twice a month School of Visual Storytelling hosts a FREAKY FRIDAY DRAW-ALONG. Anthony Wheeler Art and I hosted recently and the subject was the timely "Frankenstein"
Super fun, and I got to draw my own "A.B. Normal" brain!

Psst! I am opening up to unagented children's book submissions *just for the month of October*! This is an exciting experiment. The email to send submissions to is OpenOctober@Sourcebooks.com. You can find out about what I'm looking for at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/me...

Thanks!

The left side is a detailed painting of brown undergrowth filled with dry leaves, twigs and bugs. Orange mushrooms and small green leaves burst through while two small green characters with leaves on their heads hold hands. The right side is white with text that reads: illustrator-author/ANNA DAVISCOURT/annadaviscourt@gmail.com/annadaviscourt.com Made with acrylic gouache and colored pencils on Bristol paper.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!
I'm Anna, an author/illustrator from the PNW. I'm a fan of patterns, nature and loveable characters-all culminating in this ode to the undergrowth!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. It’s my favorite time to draw. I’ve been working on a softer style that I think would be a great fit for chapter books or graphic novels.

Picture of mad scientist, dancing waterbed with cane, frankenstien's monster, glowing Tesla coil.

Twice a month School of Visual Storytelling hosts a FREAKY FRIDAY DRAW-ALONG. I co-hosted with Lee White recently and the subject was "Weird Science".

Super fun, and definitely the only way I'd ever draw a dancing waterbear with top hat and cane!

So glad that this is no longer the case!

It’s always great when a child masters a new skill. 
My version of this was the day I discovered whistling.

I was on an art fair podcast panel recently where I made it clear that I’m (personally) not a fan of art fairs. But THIS didn’t come up at all! I wonder how the organizers can justify this. Is this an experiment or do you see this becoming a new norm for art fairs?

Before he died, Francis Tsai used blink/eye gaze technology to draw these. To draw them. No prompts.

People don’t need problematic technology to show their imagination. If you can prompt, you can learn to write, you can write stories. Anyone can MAKE art. Of any kind. Prompting is not making.
