Humorous Cover art with "Abracadabra" hand letterered on top. There is a magician's hat floating slightly above a table that has a magic wand on it. Inside the hat is a cute, "mean" squirrel holding a scared carrot character who is about to be eaten.
Happy New Year & #kidlitartpostcard day!
I would love to be considered for new projects including hand lettering, covers, bb, pb and BW interiors.

An illustration postcard. Art depicts two red-headed boys, twins probably, both wearing jeans, black high top sneakers, and a green striped t-shirt. They've just made paper snowflakes-- scissors and paper scraps and a stack of fresh white paper sits at their feet, and a half dozen snowflakes are already up on their window (flanked by bluish gray curtains) as it looks out on a hazy cityscape. The two boys are each holding up a new snowflake to the window to hang next. Text below the art says "Author + illustrator Elizabeth Metz. www.elizabeth-metz.com."
