Time to absorb what I learned at the Golden Gate Conference this weekend and make some plans.
Today's #repostyourart prompt is 'artist'. Inspired by the Norman Rockwell self portrait.

Illustration of 3 shrimp with night caps sleeping under a patchwork quilt in a shell bed.
These Sleepy Shrimp were inspired by #kidlitartdrawingchallenge2026 I love seeing them tucked into their shell bed under a comfy quilt. Another experiment: IRL watercolor with Procreate pencil lines.

This year has been a year of play. Trying new methods. New/old materials. II have no agenda other than to try. It's been so good to do this without the fear. Lately, it's been combining IRL watercolor with pencil lines In Procreate. It's fun! Meet Bookworm.

Anthropomorphic animals watching a horror movie. Lots of scared expressions and reactions.
I'm participating in a fun, easy challenge #repostyourart26 hosted by @byjessicaelena. Today's prompt is 'light'. The movie projector fits that. I loved doing this piece with all the different animals & their expressions.

Thanks Shirley!
Thank you!
A cartoonish looking illustration with lots of painterly texture. It's a spring scene with bright colours. There is a purple crow in the middle with a yellow rain jacket and rainboots. They are holding a flower with an angry worm on it. A bouquet of flowers in the other hand. The crow is walking along a path in a park. There are puddles, and a snail with an umbrella. There is another orange worm next to a bunch of flowers growing out of the ground. There is a cherry blossom tree in the right that has blossoms falling. Bushes and trees are in the foreground and background. There is a rainbow in the sky. It is raining. On the bottom has the text "Claire Lordon" "Represented by Sean McCarthy" "www.clairelordon.com"
Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! It's springtime!

I tried a technique inspired by @sashamayer.draws from a @rizzyfig workshop. I overlayed a painting over my illustration in procreate. I'll definitely try this again! Thanks Sasha and Raissa!

Illustration of fireflies meeting for coffee outside of their lantern homes.
I love fireflies or as I know them, lightening bugs. I wish we had them where I live now! In this illustration I imagine them living in lanterns.

Thank you so much!!! 😊
I recently read a romance novel where the female main character was a flamingo zookeeper. The whole time I kept thinking about a flamboyance of flamingos. Of course, I had to draw one . . . as flamboyantly as possible. The book was JUST FOR THE CAMERAS by @meghanquinnbooks

No worries! I don’t really want to leave the house today 😆
Thank you!
Congratulations!!! Which bookstore will Matthew be at? Wondering if I’m close enough to go.
Thank you!!!
