Today in NYC, my #kidlit #illustration agency MB Artists is having a gathering. I’m there in spirit. We drew ourselves as kids for the promo materials. These are mine, plus some photos from the last gathering in 2018.

Inspired by AMAZING fashion spotted last night at the grocery store. (Beware: You never know when you might end up in a book… or at least in my Instagram feed.) 🤭 #people #fashion #style #glasses #amwriting #writer #author #violetlemay #illustrator #newzealand #mbartists

Sending big hugs to #Chicago — not my home town but pretty close, and one of my favorite cities on earth. I painted this puzzle many years ago; it's mixed media (acrylics and envelope scraps). No more #ICE raids, please. 💜 #violetlemay #illustrator #illustration #midwest #illinois #brightonpark

A throwback to our 2019 pre-pandemic Ningbo apartment. Even the laundry room (where I did yoga) was marble! 🧘♀️ #violetlemay #travel #china #yoga #throwback #tbt #amwriting #tbthursday

My baby is 24 today. This is one of my favorite photos from the archives. He’ll be here with us in November and my mission is to photo-document his magnificent beard—stay tuned! 🧔♂️ Hug your kids. It goes much too fast! #violetlemay #amwriting #illustrator #mom #parenting #kids #motherhood
