Letters from Stephanie

In response to the writing prompt: What makes you sick? Also, apologies to my brother who most certainly does not make me sick. Namonia does though. #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Hei4yB7ty/?igshid=10kvkox924wj7

This was a slide from the PechaKucha talk I did last December. It's a list of all the things 7 year old Stephanie likes, including moovys, anamles, dezerds, every theeng, horss, and her biruther. #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VeKMYhoAH/?igshid=1fg6bw6akgrym

Weird little under the sea drawings on the back of a school notebook. Not sure what the creature is in the top right? #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B5S6CLsB14R/?igshid=gs9tn00v8180

Titanic came out when I was in the 6th grade and I was pretty obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio. I think I captured his likeness perfectly in this drawing. #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B5AvTT4BVnF/?igshid=pq7vkpdsacfq

Some fan art for Stick Stickly who was a popsicle stick that hosted Nikelodeon in the 90's. I guess this is his girlfriend, Stickalena! #lettersfromstephanie #nickelodeon #90s https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kjg9Xh0tA/?igshid=1hesnqh2r6jw

"Pam has a pony. The pony jumps. Pam is sad. Pam got the pony. The pony is on some steps. The End." ⁠ Hey Pam, why you sad? You have your pony and what looks like a table of food. Not sure about this story.⁠ ⁠ #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B4cw0hXhGIk/?igshid=onbv8wmebx8m

"Stephanie's Own Werds" my own graphic language from 1993. Dad's note says "drawn in church" lol #lettersfromstephanie #kidsdrawings #kidswriting #symbols https://www.instagram.com/p/B4OFp0EBXZT/?igshid=1l8rcz9ov9wvl

I had this recurring character who was a tomboy named JOE though I was constantly looking for opportunities to design dresses for her. This was the cover of one of those books! #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ckSOFhsZb/?igshid=aiqrelxthnfi

Up next is another poorly-planned sitcom pitch from a 9 year old...The Crazy Family of Horses! What will they do next?? #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B2yCjXFBApK/?igshid=ofyzsojgmp1i

Duh, teacher! Everyone knows horses lay eggs under rainbows! #howdoesbiologywork #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iM0gbBdmD/?igshid=y4siuvr7mdcm

I was writing some story about (I'm guessing) unicorns or horses and this was a letter sent from one character to another. My dad's note is pretty adorable too. Letter reads: "Star Shiyn I wish I cood find you. You are lost in the frost and I am trapt in a caje. Just wat for my love and yours to. Just looc at the silver stars and wish for me." #lettersfromstephanie https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FY5V3BLg2/?igshid=rnchkpgmoszx

Some stories are just too long and weird for instagram... so I'll be animating and posting them on YouTube! Stay tuned! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uSiO7dI8FE&t=2s https://www.instagram.com/p/B147hwYhhfQ/?igshid=15m69i07dnwxq

I don't know what my neighbor Cody did to piss me off, but it must have been bad. #lettersfromstephanie #kidwriting #kidstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B13-MekBcT6/?igshid=wh2ucxhj8znt

This is the story of Chep the Scwerl and how he became a constellation. #lettersfromstephanie #kiddrawings #kidbooks #kidstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B1WluMdB-Bv/?igshid=149t5tx1e3wew

I'd wish for weengs too. #lettersfromstephanie #kiddrawings #kidstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Fv3f6Bjre/?igshid=1is6yy219n379

Very cute coming from the child that never did her homework and was constantly on the brink of failing out of the 4th grade 😂 #lettersfromstephanie #kiddrawings #kidstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B0hicAghqE8/?igshid=8gg2ynkpnipj

Souvenir from a class trip to Camp Bear Track. Judging by the illustrations, clearly I understood the circle of life! #lettersfromstephanie #kiddrawings #kidstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eN_AxhaBj/?igshid=183al9hm3j1p7
