Story Telling Through Pictures (a webinar with Andy J Pizza, award winning author and illustrator) on Saturday May 2nd 3:30-4:30pm Alaska time. Find your story seeds and the images you need to illustrate them! Illustration isn't drawing; it's storytelling through pictures. You are a storyteller!

We are super excited about our upcoming webinar with Andy J Pizza! He has a hugely popular podcast (CREATIVE PEP TALK) & has had bestselling picture books. He will be talking about his journey & how HE thinks about storytelling. #webinars #scbwiillustrators #scbwi #andyjpizza

The image is of a drawing of woman and her child teaching their dog to jump through a hoop. The dog is German Shepherd. The drawing was inspired by the monthly prompt word for April: "HOOPS". The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (scbwi.org) Each month a new fun challenge.

The SCBWI monthly prompt for April is Hoops.
Serendipity because this month I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a hula-hoop to teach my Gator Girl how to jump through it for a treat!

Here is my illustration for this month's @scbwi.bsky.social prompt: Kaleidoscope. I reimagined Alice in Wonderland using the kaleidoscope as the starting point for her journey. I thought collage would be a great medium for this prompt.

#scbwidrawthis #scbwiillustrators #scbwi #kidlitart

An illustration of a kid wearing ear defenders reclining against some pillows while looking through a kaleidoscope. Above them is a wavy shape filled with a kaleidoscope pattern in which the kid is pictured floating along with some pattern blocks. Art human made by Clay Adamah.

Was anyone else obsessed with pattern blocks in elementary school?

Color value practice with shapes. One way to relax while watching tense sports events on TV, right? #kidlitart #scbwi #scbwiillustrators #kidlitillustrators #illustration

Inspired by my son. Whom is learning to rediscover his imagination through children’s books. The moment they step into a children’s book, they come alive again.

For March 2026's KidLitArtPostcard day, an alpaca and a lamb meet by a patterned toadstool. A glittering rainbow arches from the toadstool over the lamb. The alpaca holds a pot of gold adorned with two jeweled shamrocks on its back.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day to our uplifting #kidlit community! We are sending rainbows and hope out into the world with our #cutpaper art. 🌈☘️ #authorillustrators #scbwi #scbwiillustrators #seekingrepresentation
