Apparently it got rejected immediately because you can’t participate in the creator rewards program yet when you’re located in the Netherlands.
Weird cause TikTok kept pushing notifications asking me to join the program?? it literally doesn’t work here yet, why did they allow me to join???

Okay so I’m never making a TikTok with a sound that could potentially earn you money ever again 🤠
Thought I’d try it to see how it works. Edited and posted it and it immediately got rejected without any explanation lol

I’ve been doing a lot of research on picture books so I can become a better picture book illustrator and I’m having SO much fun!!
I’m expanding my knowledge bank by reading and dissecting as many picture books as I can, to learn what I like and what works, and it’s been super helpful so far!

Some of my reels have been doing big numbers for me, which is very exciting!
Though it also resulted in me receiving quite mean comments for the first time. I’ve been lucky enough to have avoided this for most of my time online but it’s becoming a regular thing now..not so excited about that part 🥲

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.
