Here's my entry for the third prompt for the #ABLArtFest, Ghostly Encounters. I wanted to wink at Día de los Muertos, and that's why the ghost has a marigold in its ghostly grasp. Thank you to @andreabrownlit.bsky.social for the spark of the ideas! #kidlitart

Critter Kiddos have sleepover fun in the vacant attic. Is that King Reginald Raccoon's ghost billowing into the sphere?

A little late, but here's my second illustration created for the #ABLArtFest, "The Crystal Ball reveals..." @andreabrownlit.bsky.social
A black cat is around a crystal ball, looking at it. Inside, we can see a young witch flying on her broom while a couple of birds fly further away. Three fallen leaves with autumn colors lie in the floor in front of the cat. The illustration is signed Santi 2025

Here's my 4th prompt for @andreabrownlit.bsky.social 's #ablartfest : Chats by the Cauldron. A witchy slumber party was the first thing to pop into my head when I saw the prompt.

#ChatsByTheCauldron - This is my fourth prompt for #ABLArtFest… and maybe my favorite?! I really love how the leaves turned out for the background and these characters are some of my favorites. I wonder what they’re all chatting about? 🍂🍁

Cut paper art with pressed autumn leaves that form a forest around a campfire. There’s a large cauldron on the campfire and fairies around it looking cozy and chatting.

Two raccoon kits know the ghost story of King Reginald Raccoon. So they decide to conjure him in a field under the full moon. What they didn't realize is that he is already haunting the halls of the mansion on the hill! #ABLArtfest Chats by the Cauldron hosted by @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

wanted to show these two buddies again - and thought what would kids have as a crystal ball? A waterballoon!

@andreabrownlit.bsky.social
Nature art depicting two witches in yellow dresses and silver hats standing behind a cauldron filled with a bubbling green substance. Each witch is holding a broom and smiling. The art was created on a stump on the woods using natural materials found loose on the trail.

A fox and mouse duo have different fall activities. The top is painting pumpkins, a fox is painting a pumpkin and a mouse has put a pumpkin on his head. The middle illustration, the fox is poking out of a large leaf pile throwing leaves, and mouse is about to jump in. The bottom illustration shows the two friends trick or treating, fox is dressed up as an astronaut and mouse is an alien A close up of the painting pumpkins illustration A close up of the leaf jumping illustration A close up of the costumes & trick or treating illustration

A large board cut out of a scrawled and scribbled ghost. There are 2 kids running from the board cut out with scared looks on their faces. A third child laughing from behind the board cutout of the ghost, implying that they tricked the other 2.
