🎶Folktale Week day 2: Echo

Inside the cave, the little explorer meows to see if there is anyone else there. Something seems to answer him, but is it just an echo?

A kidlit-style postcard depicts a mother walking with her young son, hand in hand. Both are dressed for cold weather and walk through the snow as they watch woodland creatures decorate a tree for the holidays.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!

Peachtober Day 9: Apricot

Here's the little explorer on a break to eat a little bit.
I know it looks more like a peach than an apricot but I wanted it to be more pinkish tones.

Three colored pencil comic panels, showing a door and a group of people. In the second panel, the author / artist hands some paper to another person. In the third, she looks down at her feet while her wife taps her on the arm. Text reads: “After the show, we went to the STAGE DOOR. But a guard said we should move on. I gave 2 zines to the guard and said “gifts for Mr Short and Mr Martin?” And “I gave my last zine to a fan named Jay. My wife said ‘Let’s stick around.””

Three colored pencil comic panels. The first two show the author / artist and her wife under a moon. No text in the first. The second panel reads “The car pulled up.” The third shows the author / artist holding her empty hands out as a suburban SUV drives by. Text reads “I was empty handed. But Jay gave my zine back to Carol.”
