I’d really like to do an entire picture book of little dogs in gardens where maybe not that much happens. 🌱🌷🪻🌿🌸🌳🐾🌼🌻

I was very taken by this image of a bronze statue from 300s BC that immortalized this puppy in blissful sleep for thousands of years. It makes me feel like not a lot has changed in how we want to preserve what we love. 🤎

Hey Bluesky and happy belated #portfolioday! I’m Dayanita, artist/illustrator based in SoCal! I am looking for opportunities to illustrate picture books and am seeking representation.

I work traditionally, mainly in inks and acrylic, and digitally depending on the project. #kidlit #illustration
