Happy #PortfolioDay - I'm a children's book author and illustrator. Rep'd by Sean McCarthy. More work at: ginaperry.com #kidlitart

Promo illustration by Gina Perry. Night scene of colorful bugs making music and nibbling on leaves. Beetle plays ukelele, grasshopper plays a tin whistle, bee shakes a maraca. Fireflies add atmosphere.

Black and white illustration by Gina Perry. From the book Aven Green Sleuthing Machine by Dusti Bowling. A group of girls surrounds and loves on a scruffy dog. One girl has no arms, one girl has a unibrow. Scene is framed as a polaroid.

Illustration from the book TOO MUCH! NOT ENOUGH! by Gina Perry. Two monsters are in a very messy kitchen. The big blue monster, Moe, is washing dishes in the sink, looking annoyed by the small monster, Peanut. Peanut is covering his chin and head with bubbles (aka bubble beard and hair). Art and text by Gina Perry

Illustrated promo by Gina Perry. Forest scene, with a number of vehicles driving in the foreground while a fox peers from the shade of trees and ferns. A chipmunk is in the back of a truck with a boo-boo on his head, assisted by a girl gnome. Another gnome drives a flatbed truck with a load of beets. A girl gnome pedals a tricycle towing a jar of flowers.

A wee bit late - BUT - here's my #ABLArtfest entry for "The Crystal Ball Reveals..."

A bit of a departure style-wise, but had fun going where it wanted to. Also the familiars and fish made me smile.
