An illustration of some kids in a graveyard at night. There are three young teens to the left, all dressed up for halloween, looking confused and disappointed. Then a child who looks like the sibling of one of the teens, dressed as a dinosaur, giggling with a ghost to the right. The two are just out of sight of the three teenagers. The teens summoning worked but only the sibling who was forced to come on the expedition gets to chat with the ghost.

Happy Halloween everyone! 🪦🎃🍬

An illustration in watercolour and pencil crayon of a grandmother, and her two young grand kids. They are sitting at a table in the kitchen and look like they have been drawing and painting for a while. In the background, on the fridge, are some ultrasound pictures and a baby shower invitation as well as other kitchen clutter.

To the left is an illustration of the drawings the children were creating in the last image. They are in a pile and the top one includes drawings of the children in the last image along with their parents and a new baby with hearts around them. Other pictures in the pile say "we love you" or have the parents holding the new baby with hearts and flowers. The right side of the image has postcard lines for the address, illustrations of pencil crayons coming down from the top and on the bottom is my name, website and email.

A little combined post for #KidLitArtPostcard and #PortfolioDay!

Hi my name is Andie Borbely and I love making colourful, textured, illustrations with a focus on children's books and editorial.

An illustration of a little girl crossing her arms and looking upset in the foreground of the image. Behind her is a messy room with makeup, shoes, jewellery, clothes and everything needed for a good makeover. her baby sister sits in the background looking up into the closet where their dad hides. The text reads "DAD, it's your turn! Margot yelled."

Anyone down for a makeover? Margot can clearly do it all and her next appointment is a no show💅👠💄

An illustrated portrait of Judith Butler. The portrait has been slightly distorted, some part are simplified, other parts woven together. The background is white with textured multi-coloured circles of varying sizes.

Another lovely substack article by okaysio to check out about Judith Butler. It talks about how their work has been said to be over complicated, but then taken and oversimplified and sometimes twisted and changed by others. Really interesting read, go check it out!

A grid of phones that sit besides each other to display an upset person. The person looks like they're behind bars because of the space around the phones.

Based on the quote “unwilling digital existence” from the substack article ‘Paolo Cirio’s Street Ghosts’ by okaysio 📱A great substack to be following so go check it out!

On a rainy day near a river, a little boy stands to the left with a net looking disappointing. His sister is behind him splashing in puddles. A couple frogs seem close to being caught but go unnoticed by the two siblings.

We're well into frog season, but Olly is not having any luck 🐸🌧🌱

A flower bouquet sits in the foreground, in the background two people hug in front of a casket.

Mock illustration for the article “How your brain copes with grief, and why it takes time to heal” by Berly McCoy 💐🫂

Some of the ingredients of bruschetta sit at the top of the page: tomatoes, garlic and basil. Little illustrated instructions stretch across the page, roughly showing how bruschetta is put together. A dazzling plate of bruschetta sits at the bottom of the illustration.

Can't wait to make bruschetta this year with my own home grown tomatoes 🥖🍅🧄

Spot illustration of a moving van, bursting with stuff, zooming to a new location!

A couple squished into an elevator with all of their stuff!

The couple is settling into their new place with half open boxes strewn about and sushi for dinner. Their window overlooks a quiet night time city as they discuss plans for their new home!

Follow this couple as they move to a new apartment together 🚚📦🌃
