Popping into #portfolioday on behalf of art directors to say thank you for sharing your work. It makes our job easier. We appreciate you.
💙❤️

Also, FWIW, I made a starter pack of hiring art-, creative-, design-directors who actively use Bluesky.

I finally had time today to try new brushes in Procreate! Trying to be more loose with my art. Drew this for KidLit411 banner contest.
I saw the book illustrated by you, and had to participate!
Thank you so much Debbie! I’m getting my courage together to start submitting my portfolio.
Congratulations on your award too! ❤️❤️❤️
Yay! I still can’t believe it happened! #kidlitart #scbwi

Thank you so much, Ohio team! ❤️
Happy #kidlitartpostcard! This is an illustration from my pb dummy. When Oliver charges into the forest to prove he’s a real knight, he meets a magical talking leaf, Sir Leafalot, who shows him the ways plants communicate.
I’m available for illustration projects as well.

Beautiful! I signed up for a critique with you at the SCBWI North Ohio conference, looking forward to it!
