Hello #kidlitartpostcard !! I’m a writer/illustrator seeking rep for comic, cover, and fantasy map art.
I love working both digitally and with watercolor, and illustrating anything fantastical, whimsical, or involving animals or D&D ☺️

Good morning 🤗 Happy Friday to everyone! 🌲🌞🌳 #ForestFriday #ForestScape #Scape #Forest #nature #landscape #naturephotography #mobilephotography #EastCoastKin

The photograph depicts an autumn forest. In the center of the frame is a small deciduous tree, a young oak with bright yellow foliage, standing out against a background of taller coniferous pine trees. The forest floor is covered with thick green moss and fallen leaves.
