Stephanie Buosi

Hello #kidlitartpostcard day! Spooky season inspires monsters and, in this case, scary makeovers? I'm a Canadian illustrator, I love drawing for #kidlit and #middlegrade and am open to new projects! 🕸️ Stephaniebuosi.com 🍀 Seeking representation

Canadian author and illustrator friends! If you have any spare, new copies of your books that you would like to donate to two schools that have lost their entire libraries, please send me a message!

Back on it after a busy weekend break! Day 26 is Hunter's Moon. My mind immediately went to predator and prey. I've heard owl at night before. They sound so majestic. I doubt mice feel the same. #SCWBIartober2026 #artober2026 #kidlitart #kidcomics

Ooooook love this! Such spooky vibes! But also very inviting. I would walk through this forest. Just maybe in the daylight

✏️136/182: Swamp Bath 🛁 Nothing like a nice dip in a slimey swamp.🥴 #kidlitart #kidillustrationart #sketchdai̇ly #swampmonster #swampbath

Catching up. Day 22 was KNIT for #SCBWIartober2026. Those long long cozy scarves are perfect for sharing. #birds #kidlitart #artober #drawingbirds

Catching up! DAY 21 was faerie. #scwbiartober2026 Dancing in a fearie ring of mushrooms. Which is a real mushroom formation! #faeries #kidlitart #artober

Day 20 of #SCBWIarttober2026 is Stolen. I always think of clever ravens and magpies when I see prompts like these. Poor tricker treaters... At least their dentists will be happy! #cartoons #kidlitart #artober #drawingforkids

We’re having our spooky #KidLitArt chat next week! Is there anything spooky and arty that you’d like to discuss? Let me know if the comments!

Day 19 for #scbwiartober2026 is WISH! When I was a kid, I always wished I'd fine a four leaf lucky clover. Also, did you know if a ladybug lands on you that's considered good luck? I wish for that all the time too lol #artober #kidlitart #cartoons #kidcartoons #drawingforkids

Happy Monday! Just resharing this sketchbook page as I saw a fox over the weekend 🧡🦊 #sketchbookillustration #foxillustration #kidlitart #picturebookart #autumnvibes

SCBWI Artober, prompt 14: Belonging Trying something new with minimal linework, just flat shapes, and kind of a paper cutout feel. #scbwiArtober2026 #artober #kidlitart

Day 18 of #SCBWIartober2026 is Cosplay. Which, to be honest, is that what Halloween costume dressing is all about? What are you dressing up as for Halloween? This year, according to my toddler, we're going to be cats. Lol #drawingforkids #kidlitart #cartoons #halloween

Day 16 of #scbwiartober2026 is Hairy. My first thought was to draw a werewolf, but then I thought, nah I want to draw a cute hairy sheepdog. Because drawing dogs is fun! #kidlitart #dogs #drawingdogs #cartoonanimals

Thursday is the new Friday. Owl loves staying in to read a good old book. Any book recommendations? #kidlitart #owlillustration #picturebook #childrenillustration #nightowl

Day 14 - Happy Artober! In a vast universe, it takes only one kind should to give us a sense of #belonging. #scbwiartober2026 #scbwi #kidlitillustrator #kidlit

Did you play in the fallen leaves as a kid? I used to jump in the pile when they were all raked up. We don’t take them now as it’s better for critters over the winter to leave them where they are. #KidLit #KidLitArt #KidLitIllustration #fallleaves🍁🍂 #autumn @thet2agency.bsky.social

Starting halfway, but better late than never! Day 15 of #scbwiartober2026 is Carnival. I never was able to win those huge stuffed animal prizes. In this, I sympathize with my fox character. But at least they won something! #kidlitart #carnival #animalcartoon #drawingforkids

Thanking the Bees 🐝🍎 What bees make possible isn’t only food. Sometimes it’s an afternoon spent cooking together, a recipe passed from one generation to the next, and a memory that stays with us. Watercolour & ink on paper. #KidLitArt #ChildrensIllustration #Watercolour

🐘#WednesdayWisdom: It's #WorldElephantDay! 📸#safari, #Malawi #DavidAttenborough asked whether we're prepared for #elephants to become something our grandchildren only meet in picture books. 🐘We're not! Updated our deep-dive on #elephant #conservation/#tourism www.earth-changers.com/purpose/elep...

I'm actively seeking book bloggers, indie booksellers, librarians, educators interested in contributing to my HOW READERS DISCOVER BOOKS blog. Info: books.leaflet.pub/about One of my goals: to help boost the book boosters, help people find new ways to discover books, and (of course) boost books.

1) yes i waited a whole 4+ hours at this education policy panel meeting to give my public comment to our chancellor & board's faces since my tax dollars go towards their salaries!! 2) i will never give up on my students @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social @comixaction.com

K is for kiwi. These adorable, flightless #birds are beloved in New Zealand. Unfortunately, the species' population is under threat by human- introduced non-native predators (brought to the country for various commercial, and misplaced rodent management reasons). 5 min. #kiwi #birdart #sketchbook

J is for the Jabiru. This bird's name is derived from a Tupian language of South America that means "swollen neck." Very appropriately named! They also hunt be touch and feel rather than sight. 6min sketch today. #birds #birdart #sketchbook #illustration

Another G for green-tailed sunbird, sketched for the #birdwhisperer monthly challenge. I'll back to the alphabet tomorrow with a J named bird. 8min sketch today! Love all the colours this beautiful bird has. #birdart #sketchbook #illustration #animalart #birds

I is for the Ibadan Malimbe. These #birds are now rare and endemic to Nigeria, specifically near the city of Ibadan, where they get their name. Day 9. 5 min (with a pause to let my toddler add her scribble to the bottom right) #sketchbook #animalart #birdart #illustration
