@Pamela-Fraley Seeing as graphic novels are 100x the work for the same or worse pay, there will probably never be a graphic novel

HOWEVER something with these characters is going to be published! They're in the second book, in a series actually! Heavily illustrated middle grade fiction

It’s been a long time since I’ve shared work…or even made work…partly because I got engaged in June and partly because I’m still struggling to find my voice. I did get some of my animal drawings selected for a local gallery though!

Anyway, here’s my little character Abby exploring a frog habitat.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@lpetiti congratulations, Lauren! On both counts!

@kylebeaudette I absolutely LOVE your characters and your loose line style! Your characters are so fun and whimsical! Do you have any books with these characters or has anyone snatched you up yet for any illustration jobs?

[kayleenartlover]

@Melissa_Bailey I love everything about these drawings! I want a whole book haha

[Melissa_Bailey]

@kayleenartlover aww, thanks so much! Yeah ... maybe these characters need a whole book instead of a 3 illustration narrative.

[kayleenartlover]

@Melissa_Bailey it just looks like a wonderful idea for a bedtime book. Even with just the white added on the first picture they look so good!

I've been working on a piece for a Make Art That Sells course, and this whole new aspect of my style is emerging that I LOVE! Just wanted to share some of this new editorial work with my SVS fam. (sorry for the not-kid-friendly language)

I'm envisioning this as a spread in a sassy, arty hiker's field guide called something like How Not to Die in the Woods.

[Asyas_illos]

@Valerie-Light love it!

[kylebeaudette]

@Maureen-Henry-Artist thank youuuu!
I have a possible book deal in the works, hope it works out

[burvantill]

@kylebeaudette I really do love your style. It makes me smile every time a see a drawing by you. =)x

[Maureen*Henry*Artist]

@kylebeaudette Great to hear! I’ll be anxious to hear updates, keep us posted!
