ALT An illustration by Juliana Motzko of an African Penguin. The penguin is in the centre of a white page doing a one-handed handstand, it’s flippers up in the air. The other flipper pointing upwards. The penguin is black and white with a few black dots on its chest and pink around its eyes. There is a purple shadow beneath its flipper.

Hellooooo, so I am finding that most cover artists for MG books aren't keen to work on a self-published book (totally understandable) but are there any peeps out there that you can recommend who are freelance and up for doing an MG cover for a self-published book?
TYSM!

It's Monday and @AnimalAlphabets is up to O, so I drew an Ocelot playing a Ocarina... albeit it needs some practice.
#KidLitArt #DailyDoodle #Ocelot #Ocarina
Skipped quite a few that I’ll have to go back and catch up on but being a Zelda fan I love the Ocarina so had to make time! Played by an Opossum while her babies watch and listen #AnimalAlphabets @AnimalAlphabets
