Thanks!

These bags are from Tuesday. Does anybody else draw on their kiddos’ lunch bags? I'm creating extra bags this year in hopes of doing something for charity with them. Don't mind the lack of imagination with my characters both having open mouths. 😬😆

My boys tell me what to draw for their snack bags at camp. This is my third year making these and they knew exactly what they wanted me to draw for the first two of the summer. #kidlitart #lunchbagdoodle

Illustration of a little girl in bed. Her grandpa is sitting on the edge of her bed, listening to her talk and smiling. There is a speech bubble coming out of her mouth with kids' drawings of a variety of activities - a girl on a swing, a girl smelling a flower, a girl holding a cookie, a dog, skyscrapers, cars, a house with a girl sitting in front of it, a bird.

Do you like the summer sun? Or do you hide in the shade? If you’re anything like me you burn too easily and so I hide away in the summer or get sunburnt.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. My name is Mark Hoffmann and I’m a kidlit author/illustrator. I am rep’d by Jenn Laughran (@literaticat)

Illustration of a pink poodle party where the dogs have caused chaos - spilled punch, licking the cake, wrecking the presents, howling. The 7yo birthday girl with a fancy dress and crown is at the center is in shock at the mess. Art by Gina Perry

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! This piece was inspired by themed parties, classic poodle push toys, and big hair. I'm looking for new #kidlit picture book projects to illustrate. Rep'd by Sean McCarthy. More work at www.ginaperry.com

Well, I just posted this banner on Twitter and IG and Threads with a call to only post #kidlitartpostcard here and on Cara. So how long before I get in trouble? 😬 Anyway - super excited for Thursday's #kidlit #kidlitart event here!

Lest it go under-appreciated I just want to point out that for Gina to do this is a BIG deal within the #Kidlit community. It's scarier for illustrators to switch platforms than it is for publishing pros, like myself. Illustrators are risking more. It is an act of bravery. Thank you Gina! 💙❤️
