I forgot to share this here. If you missed my #PaintPlay for #SCBWIArtober2025, you can see them in this post. I didn't do all the prompts, but I was able to fit in some & had fun playing w/new brushes in Procreate.

Cut paper collage of a frog flying a nonbinary pride flag

So the rest of my #scbwiArtober2025 was put on hiatus to work on a local festival where I sold a couple of “pride frogs”! #nonbinarypride

#scbwiartober2025 Day 31 is: Bones. Committing a little skullduggery. I know that this isn’t exactly what that is, but the word play worked too well.

And with that another one of these monthly challenges is done. It’s crazy that I’ve done 2 this year, but pretty cool.

#artober2025

My 6yo decided to do some of the #scbwiArtober2025 prompts with me. Hey look, more costumed worms! Like mother, like son.😁

#scbwiArtober2025 Day 31: Bones

Inspired by Day of the Dead🦴

Happy Halloween/Samhain/early Day of the Dead!!! 🎃💀🕯️

And finally Day 31-Bones #scbwiArtober2025 #art #artist #kidlitart #illustration #digital

Day 31- Bones. Needle and bones on a magic thread.

Children's book art art two kids hiding behind the bushes outside the windows watching a dragon sniff a pie in the window cooling.

Any day you can have pie is a good day. This is my last piece for #SCBWIArtober2025 w/the prompt #pie. I've had a lot of fun exploring and playing with the new Procreate brushes.

Happy Halloween! Next, turn those pumpkins into pies & hope a dragon doesn't steal them.

Day 31 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is BONES. Alas, poor Boarick, I knew him, Horatio. And scene.

#kidlitart #kidlit

For SCBWIArtober2025's Day 31 prompt, Bones, 8 bones with 3-D eyes balance on top of each other in a haphazard cheerleader fashion, cheering on Halloween.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 And happy last day of Artober 2025! Our #bones are attempting a cheerleader pose to celebrate. 🦴👻 #SCBWIArtober2025 #kidlitart #scbwi #HappyHalloween

I did it! This was my first time taking the #scbwiArtober2025 challenge, and boy did it feel good to stretch myself. Here's a few things I'm taking away from this experience:

#WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity

Nature art depicting a child dressed as a skeleton with a skeleton mask. Her hair is in pigtails and she is standing next to a tree. She is holding her trick or treat bag in her right hand. The art was made on a stump in the woods using leaves, bark and other natural materials found loose on the trail.

Bones #scbwiartober2025

Day 31: #scbwiArtober2025

No bones about it! The curse of the grave diggers was real. And these reanimated skeletons rattled Wrigley just as much as any living bird.

A cartoon drawing of a paleontologist kneeling kneeling over some bones while in the background the head and arm the giant T-Rex is sneaking up on him from behind

And the last “Artober” prompt is “bones.”

Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃

I'm a little bit sad that Artober is finished now, but I have plenty more creative projects to work on in November

#scbwiartober2025 Day 30 is: sleepover. I don’t think the other girls are fans of the evening’s entertainment
