Taking a break from work to engage in some brush pen therapy 🐟🐠🐡 #kidlitart #art #traditionalart

Share this far and wide! Being the one to write up the contract gives you control. Smaller clients don't often know what copyright to ask for & artists end up doing work for hire jobs just because that's the template the client happened to download. Having a good contract is good for everyone!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! Old work from me because am currently chasing deadlines 😔 I love sunbears, orang utans and anything rainforesty. It's my dream project! Portfolio- www.behance.net/speakyst 💌[email protected] #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitpostcard #illustration

Found some old sketches of my little boy. I believe he was 5 at the time.

“32 pages is our absolute max for picture books.” Me: Okay, no worries! Narrator: She was, in fact, drowning in worries.

Gonna leave this recommendation here for everyone tired of pinterest's shenanigans Maybe it will turn sour eventually like everything else apparently. But can we foster alternatives while they are still on the good path? It has images like the ones on pinterest +community labeling -ai
