Hello, #kidlitartpostcard day!
This is my first time doing this, so let me see… My name is A. C. (Anna) Bodnar. I am obsessed with the intersection of nature and fantasy, of light and whimsical colors, and especially dragons. And, of course, little guys going on quests and being brave.

Hello, #kidlitartpostcard day!
I am A. C. (Anna) Bodnar, and I am a kidlit author and illustrator. I love creating art with a sense of place and whimsy, exploring the interplay between light and color, and finding the magic that can be found in the little things. Also dragons, of course.

#scbwidrawthis December/January: Dream
Cutting this one rather close, I know, but I hadn’t planned on submitting anything this month until a couple of days ago. I was crosshatching away in my sketchbook when inspiration struck, and thus my frantic race to finish this on time began!

I had an amazing time in NYC last weekend at #scbwiNY26 🤩
I learned so much from the workshops and the incredible key note speakers, reconnected with old friends and made even more new ones, and I cannot wait for 2027!! I hope to see you all then!

Sometimes you have the same characters in your head for so many years that they start to break confinement and seep out into new projects 😅

Artober Day 24: Leaves
I’ve fallen another day behind 😅
I am, unfortunately, still sick. This is cold that refuses to leave.

(1/4) I had an amazing weekend at the #scbwirmc Letters and Lines Conference!! I learned so much (almost too much, I spent last night curled up under a blanket with a migraine 😅), conquered one of my biggest fears by entering my portfolio into the contest, and met so many amazing people.

I am glad that I was able to get this one done in time; I was super busy having an amazing time at the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social conference today!! I have already learned so much and cannot wait to learn all that I can tomorrow!

Artober Day 15: Charm
Today was a travel day; I did some of the inking while on a plane (not the best time to draw precise lines when everything is moving…). I really should have done something simpler today, but I had an idea and was determined to see it through.

Artober Day 14: Burnt
Thinking the word “out” immediately following the word “burnt” does not mean that I am burnt out right now. But it is a constant push and pull, the strain of creating in world where everything is made to feel increasingly meaningless and impotent.
