I uploaded a new video today to my YouTube channel, ArtGrowStudio. It's about how I prep my dummies (PDF and print) using Adobe Creative Suite. If interested, you can check it out at the link. I always learn from other artists posting their process, so this is my contribution 😀 youtu.be/y-W6tue3XEc

This looks cool! Weekly prompts is a great idea. How is it we are already in October?😆🎃
We’re back with #ABLArtFest 2025! 

There's a lot going on in the world these days, so this year we're offering weekly prompts this year instead of daily ones.

Use the #ABLArtFest hashtag and tag @andreabrownlit so everyone can find you. 

We can't wait to see what great pieces you come up with!

Great read!
#16 truth about making books for kids:

“When in doubt, opt for trying to see things how kids see rather than how we see things. (Again, we are lame and boring.)”

Don’t underestimate our lameness.
