Thanks so much!

Hi hi! It's #kidlitartpostcard day again!

I am a children's book illustrator from Cape Town. Creating art has been my voice. Sometimes you can even use your creativity to make your own friends.

Aaah, thank you so much Rachel! 🌸

It's #kidlitpostcard day!

#Illustration is not just a job or a hobby to me. It's my life's mission, my passion. If I never had to work a day in my life, I would still be illustrating #childrensbooks. That's how much I love it!

Anyone else sick of all the AI 💩 everywhere? Can't escape it. I don't even want to go on social media anymore. It's just fake bots everywhere. 😭

I had the honor to work on so many exciting projects in 2025 and look forward to the projects I get to work on in 2026. Thank you to all my lovely clients I've worked with and to my agent Amy at illo agency

🎄🐦I am sharing another Christmas book I've worked on. This one is called "Eddie's Christmas Wish".

"Year after year, he watches trees bigger than him get chosen. Will Eddie ever get his wish, will he finally find the home he has been dreaming of?"

Merry December #kidlitpostcard day!
I'm Gabby, a children's book illustrator from Cape Town, South Africa, where Christmas holidays aren't spent drinking hot chocolate by the fire place, but rather, eating ice cream at the beach.

🎄 Can you believe it's December already???

The festive spirit is in the air. Christmas shopping, decorating and overeating on delicious deserts. (That last one might just be me 😅)

Lunchtime Smorgasbord Christmas Cookie Showdown 🍪 is now available on Amazon.

Tried out a new watercolor and scratchy ink style for an Illustration sample. What do you think? Yay or nay?

My commissions are for families, authors, and visionaries who believe children’s stories deserve artistry, not shortcuts. 🖌️

You know what's more important than CONFIDENCE? ....COURAGE! Stop waiting until you feel confident to share your work online, send that cold email to your dream client or record that process video. The only way you'll feel CONFIDENT is by doing the thing! Do it scared, do it imperfect! #kidlit

The next promp this month for the Illo Agency Art challenge was #RepresentationMatters Inclusivity is something I always think about when illustating books

Your unique voice matters. In this fast pace world, overtaken by AI, side hustles and passive income. Be the passion. Let your story shine through your art. Be a child again, and play. #kidlitartist #arttips #kidlit #yourvoicematters #artmotivation #inspirationalquotes

You have to write the book that wants to be written. - Madeleine L'Engle ~ Background shows a european winding cobblestone street flowing through flat stucco building sides in different colors.

Illo Agency Art Challenge invites you to explore themes of diversity, culture, and identity through illustration. The first prompt for September was "Everyday Magic". This is my interpretation 😊
