#kit lit

One of the spreads from a kid lit poetry book I illustrated last year, called Стихи для настоящих мальчиков девочек всех (Poems for Real Boys Girls Everybodys), written by Galina Sokolinskaya.

Hi! Maybe you are a person who also wants to study children’s literature at the graduate level and are having a hell of a time figuring out how to do that, because there’s no updated central directory of schools, for whatever reason. I am a person who is studying children’s literature in grad school and didn’t want to do a straight MFA and had such a hard time figuring out where to apply, so, I made......this.......use it..........write or study books or both........add to it if I forgot something.........enjoy yr life

The Winter King and the Salesman, from a children’s book I made back in uni. I’ve recently been getting around to updating the character, with the intention of remaking the book. 

I’m currently streaming some Jack and the Winter King work over on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/zestydoesthings 

Is this common in the #kidlit field? Also, I think I didn't do the art how I would have liked to, like according to my wants.
