Always always ALWAYS!!! (Thank you, Debbie, for calling attention to this matter once again. I have no idea WHY the illustrator's name is ever left unsaid. Picture books are a PARTNERSHIP!!!)

Look at this precious little darling who fell asleep, cuddling the middle of the flower (Rose-of-Sharon.) 🥰 (Yes, it was alive, and lazily waved me away when I checked.) 💕

#collage is fun, y'all. You should do it. 😁 (Made during a class called Paper Portraits as part of the Summer Creative Retreat, hosted by the fabulous artist Peggy Dean - of The Pigeon Letters fame and taught by the amazing Claudette Hasenjager.)

Congratulations - to you and the agency!

Beautifully said. 💕

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Jodi Moore @jodimoore.bsky.social · Jul 24

Aw, thank you! 😊

Sometimes the early bird simply wants to go back to bed. 🙃 (Colored pencil w pan pastel background - first time trying these out!) Powered by Human Art, no AI. Admittedly wanted to pay a little homage to Sesame Street too. I love that show. *sniff* #birds #coloredpencils

Colored pencil rendition of baby blue bird with Sesame Street's Bert as a stuffie under its wing. Pan pastel sunrise in back with warm shades of purple, orange and yellow.
