I recently read a romance novel where the female main character was a flamingo zookeeper. The whole time I kept thinking about a flamboyance of flamingos. Of course, I had to draw one . . . as flamboyantly as possible. The book was JUST FOR THE CAMERAS by @meghanquinnbooks

The #VeggieKidsSeries was inspired by a teacher posting that a student wanted to be a pineapple when they grew up. I kept going with other fruits and vegetable costumes.

Another odd job, Dragon Tooth Brusher. Seems like a pretty scary job!

You Should Probably Leave Substack You should probably leave Substack. Here’s why and how.

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

I watched a lot of old reruns as a kid, including I Love Lucy. When I saw Jellybean Sorter on the @kidlitart_drawing_challenge I knew just what to do.

Growing up I watched old re runs like I Love Lucy. When I saw Jellybean Sorter in the @kidlit_drawing_challenge, I thought of the candy factory scene with a Lucy & Ethel ❤️ Such a classic!!

The list has so many fun jobs! Can’t wait to draw some more!

TOUCHDOWN!!!!! Football Bunny for the win! (6 of 6)

Unlike the previous illustrations, I painted this in gouache then drew the lines in Procreate. I want to experiment more like this.

Illustration of a fall orchard. A young girl is climbing an apple ladder and notices a very large dinosaur hiding in the half-bare tree. Her mom is nearby taking a video with her phone, distracted by a rare european cuckoo bird in another tree. The young girl is saying "Mom..." A bag of apples is on the ground.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Today's post is based on a true story! Not the dinosaur, but the appearance of a European Cuckoo bird in New Hampshire this past autumn. I'm open for new book projects mid-year. Rep'd by Sean McCarthy. www.ginaperry.com #kidlit

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I write and illustrate board books, picture books, readers, and comics. I love quirky characters and projects that let me show a range of emotions.

Art of a young East asian girl wearing a yellow outfit and holding a red ribbon. She rides a red horse with flames for its mane and tail. A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.

I like to call this piece “Hope”, it was born at a very emotional time this past month, for personal reasons but also because of everything happening around the world. Migration is not a bad thing, We, the POC are not bad just for being different. But I want to believe we are more the good people. Picture of a little poc girl with yellow butterflies
