I'm so excited for #bluesky but it feels like the first day at a new school in a way.
I'm a Mexican designer-turned-illustrator with a lifelong passion for #kidlit and #childrensillustration. I would love to meet more people on this platform who share a love for beautiful children's books.

A pencil and digital illustration of a mule nanny. The mule wears a green cover with three large pockets in which three lambs are sleeping. Traditionally, these mules were trained to carry baby lambs in the mountains of italy.

Hi Steffen! At the moment it’s just an illustration, but maybe it could be an idea for a book!
