Hi #kidlitartpostcard day! Hopefully I'm not too late to join in. I've been working on my website and can't wait to share it soon. I'm excited to show more about my project behind the scenes and the thought process.

Wishing everyone a cozy fall. It's my favorite season here in Canada 🍁🍃

A gray smiling bipedal wolf offering candies to four trick or treaters. The first one is dressed as Luigi from Super Mario Bros. and she is scared surprised. The second one is dressed as a ghost and he is smiling and amazed. The third one is dressed as Frankenstein, he is also scared. The fourth one is dressed as a witch princess and she is slowly walking backwards.

Thank you! Hopefully fall stays long enough to fully enjoy it before the harsh Canadian winter ☺️

I love pigeons! They are so silly and fun to draw. So many shapes to play with.

It’s #KidLitArtPostcard Day!

I’m Mili, an October baby, a Toronto based author/illustrator, trained in classical animation and fine art.

I love a watercolor and ink look. How about you?

Happy creating!

Ellen, a sad, 14-year-old ballerina in a pink tutu sitting in a wheelchair. She has blond hair with a hint of the pink dye she had before. Her eyes are aqua in colour. Behind her is an aqua and green background showing lotus flowers in the rain, painted in a watercolour style. Lotus flowers stand for resilience. The background was interpreted from a photograph created by Nguyên Lam Mili found on Pinterest.

Hi #kidlitartpostcard day! You snuck up on me again! Honestly I'm a bit busy these days, but open to smaller illustration projects, covers, magazine work, etc!

The leaves are changing, and there's a nip in the air! Time to migrate! (South for the birds, cozy cafes for me)

What could possibly go wrong, standing on a friend's back? A puddle made for one, with hardly enough room. Then suddenly, a surprise from below! A fish appears.
