#authorillustrator — Public Fediverse posts

Please welcome Lellie Lopter to the #CYASuccess family.

“From the date of my assessment to the date of publication it took just 72 days. During this time, I had undergone major surgery and was confined to bed for 8 weeks. From my bed I recruited illustrators from all over the world, connected with Red Nose Australia to set up the ongoing charitable donations of 100% of the profits, completed the layout and design of the book, set it up for international sales and created an accompanying video that is available immediately and for free whenever a family needs it. The book and video of ‘My Brother Born Sleeping’ has now helped over 500 families tackle the difficult conversation of pregnancy and infant loss with siblings. Without the connections I made from the Kid Lit community at the CYA conference, and without the kindness of the assessors who rejected my manuscript, I would never have had the confidence to undertake this project and this book wouldn’t exist.”

I'm so excited to finally have this announcement out in the world!! 2024 debut, here I come! ❤️

Got some work done on the value study of this image during my livestream this afternoon. I think I've explored it enough to start putting in some color. We'll see how it goes. I think it'll be a WIP for a while yet... hehe...

This is an exploration of the "dark wolf" character of my version of Little Red. The idea is still a bit unformed and amorphous, but I'm getting closer.

#LittleRed #Fairytale #AuthorIllustrator #Procreate #MastoArt

Starting to write my own version of Little Red, and setting the scene. Also drawing accompanying illustrations.

My version of the story is initially told through the eyes of the Woodsman as one of the narrators, with others telling their parts of the story as it develops. This is the Woodsman's cabin.

Working title: "The Wolf, The Waif, the Widow, and the Woodsman."

Hey it's #kidlitartpostcard time! I'm an author and illustrator who loves to tell stories with my art. I love to play with color, texture, characters, and add a bit of magic to everything. I'd love more picture book, chapter book, MG & YA work.

It’s #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m sharing an illustration from my latest picture book, Boomer the Border Collie, written by Lorraine Fitch and illustrated by me. This fun book will be coming out soon!

I love telling stories with my art and hope to expand imaginations and bring smiles.

Hi, I'm Traci Van Wagoner and I illustrate and write children's books. I also illustrate board games and create fun characters. When I'm not writing, illustrating or playing games, you'll find me walking my dog or gardening on the roof nurturing nature in the city.
Oh yeah, I love dragons and seek out a little magic every day. Live, laugh, learn!

Yes! I finished off all my work for the year, and I'm thrilled to have some continuing projects and new projects lined up for next year. That feels good!

#freelance #illustrator #author #AuthorIllustrator #timeoff

It's December already? And it starts on a Thursday. That means it's #KidLitArtPostcard time.

I'm Traci VW and I illustrate and write for kids. I love to play with color and texture and hope to bring smiles and encourage imagination and an appreciation for nature.
