If you see this, post a #vampire that isn't Dracula. 7. This is my favorite vampire art (so far - will probably draw more). It's also another cow, which seems like a fitting way to end this thread. Which vampire is your favorite? Do you draw vampires? 7/end #kidlitart #cow #cat #ghost #pumpkin

a white cow with purple spots, a vampire fang, and a green cape, is carrying a pumpkin in her arms and walking to the right, followed by two ghosts (one is waving) and an orange and white cat carrying a pumpkin on their back

They have darker brown spots on their arms, hands, and feet, but not on their face.

If you see this, post a #vampire that isn't Dracula. 4. Love this vampire girl with three fangs who's half in the shadows and half in the light! 4/ Was going to post from oldest to newest, but already changed the order, so I will randomly post them, with cows in the beginning & end. #kidlitart

vampire girl with brown bobbed hair, with spikey ends and bangs, swirling eyes, and three fangs, is surrounded by swirls and bats in the background. the blueish-purple background is darker on the left and top part of the image and lighter on the right, with the line of shadow curving across the girl so she's half in the light, half in the shadow.

I use the NYC Subway app. It’s a bit clunky & has ads, but has subway stops & functions like the paper map. It’s the best I’ve found. p.s. Haven’t used in a while. It’s been updated to new subway map, ugh. p.p.s. New map options including accessible! Click on map pic in upper right to get diff maps.

NYC Subway app icon black rounded square with red circle and white image of a subway car. Grey background. “NYC Subway” text under icon

Image from the NYC Subway map app showing the new graphic map that highlights the subway lines while not showing as much of the above ground map. Below the map, there’s a pop up showing the three available map versions: Subway (current view), Night (same map with dark background) and Accessible, which is like the old paper subway map and shows the subway lines while+ more of the street level map

NYC subway map with dark background, which makes the colorful subway lines stand out. Very little street level data shows

NYC subway map app accessible version which is similar to the old paper map. It shows the colorful subway lines and stops, with accessibility info and has more street level detail than the other app map options.

Pink heart with a red and white striped border and small white hearts in the upper left of the heart. Text in the heart "Choose LOVE NOT HATE". The O in LOVE is a heart. Two small birds (purple and blue) stand on top of the word, "Choose" in the upper right. a small red heart is above the birds.

bird line art in dark pink fills a vertical image, with big, small, and tall birds, and even a couple who are upside down. Each bird is either carrying a pink heart or has "LOVE" written on their wing, with the O in the shape of a heart. One love is in cursive, and four small birds in the upper right each have one letter on their feathers to spell out love. There are pink and red hearts all over the image in between the birds.
