Goodbye 2025 and hello 2026!

I'm really grateful for the small community l've found and I wish you all the best for the year ahead (less surprises and no sharks, unless you want some shanks in which case sure sharks for you!)

This was a great excuse to draw some cute critters in public transit

Sometimes I want to be a fancy illustrator, sometimes I just want to make funny doodles on a legal pad

Happy December!
I felt like playing with things yesterday so I Combined #sashaDTIYS1k and #quietfiredtiys to get a nice group.
I like to think they all were lost and found each other in the woods and now they are able to enjoy the quiet fire

I like bugs. But I like them outside the most. 😅 It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m an author/illustrator who’s hard at work right now on many projects. But there is room for more. Come inside, won’t you? I promise you that the bugs will be outside. I’m proudly represented by @andreabrownlit agency.

A #kidlitartpostcard featuring a very dog-like red dragon in the sky chasing his own tail. His tongue is hanging out and he's wearing a dog coloring. Below him, is a backyard fence and an angry speech bubble with the words "Down, Boy!" In the corner is the author/illustrator info: Brooke Baum, Author & Illustrator, heybrookebaum.com

Woohoo, it's #kidlitartpostcard day! I love to create fun, silly, kid-focused art. I'm a #PBRisingStars mentee and I'll query agents in the fall! This goofy dragon is from a new dummy I'm working on!

Thank you 🩷

Mix-media Collab with Elia (aka my kid) 🐟🐠🧜🐟🐠
Every now and then the kid asks me for a drawing for her to paint over, and today's came out fun.

Happy Valentine's/ Galentines/ or chocolate-eating day y'all!!

Last year I doodled a cute whale holding a card with a shrimp nervously, this year I made the shrimp into it's own card and she's holding a cute fishy card and I hope to continue with this tradition.

Puppy enjoying the the rain ☔️
This one was forgotten on my phone for a while, but as winter hasn't been very cold, barely any snow but plenty of rain soI thought it would be worth sharing now.
