What is something that is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Illustration pay has not kept up with inflation. We get paid approximately the same dollar amount as an illustrator in the early 2000s. Some of the big companies are the worst for this.

Been neck deep in deadlines this week. It's either nothing or everything all at once. Honestly though, after a lot of time with no work, I welcome this.

My little sister is getting married and I take my job very seriously. I designed this in 2 days over the weekend. And then I listed it on Etsy: bewonderandwild.etsy.com/listing/4297... #maidofhonor #graphicdesigner #wedding

Had some fun the past two days making a case study around a rejected project proposal. #illustration. www.behance.net/gallery/2242...

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

So not only do I sell brushes for Photoshop & Procreate (shaunalynn.gumroad.com) I also sell mockups & I am slowly populating that shop (proofandpixel.gumroad.com). I am working on adding some children's book cover mockups in the very near future that I already have made & need to prep for sale.

Anyone else reading Sunrise on the Reaping? I am playing the audiobook at my desk this morning.

I originally got this (for xmas, thanks mom and dad!) to help with Raynaud's flare ups at my desk. Turns out it actually works REALLY well when my hands feel stiff and/or sore before or after drawing and it helped relax my drawing hand so much just now. amzn.to/4aYK7mD

I'm teaching Learn to Skate in a few hours. I really hope these kids are unaware of what happened because I don't know how I'm going to navigate talking about it to them, and I don't want to be the one to talk to them about it. I didn't know the skaters that were lost, but the skating community is-

I made a new brush pack inspired by Cryptids! :) shaunalynn.gumroad.com/l/qduxy

Can we just take a minute to appreciate that I drew this crab without reference? Is he correct? I have no idea. Am I proud of him? Yes. I think I'll name him Chester. #kidlitart #oceanart

I have said before how I love making mockups. I also am obsessed with the Apple Pro Pencil packaging and wanted to try my hand at what lettering I might do for it. So I built a mockup from scratch and illustrated this. :) (hey Apple, let’s collab?) #artistsonbluesky #lettering

I’ve been playing with some new techniques, namely working on treating how I create my digital art as if I were painting with gouache. I’ve made a bunch of brushes that allowed my brain to finally unlock this. :) #kidlitart

Hello 2025! I took a break for two weeks to spend time with family and work on things I wanted to do. Unfortunately, cleaning my studio did not happen during that time so that's on my to do still. I did, however, have some fun experimenting with illustration styles. :)

I got humbled trying to draw a bike from memory.

Been heads down finishing commissions and prepping for the holiday season. I'm closing* my studio for the holiday starting Friday and allowing myself a break** until January 6, 2025. *Just not looking at my to do list **Making all the things I keep saying I'm going to make

In this day and age, when all the big bad tech bros are ingesting all our images without compensation... do you really need to be doing the same, @adamgrant.bsky.social? Left is your post from today. Right is @sarahluann.bsky.social's post, which you lifted without credit. Doesn't sit well with me.

Don't mind me, just reminiscing on the Scholastic art fair and how my parents were amazing because they'd give me a budget to get books and then sometimes give a little extra because there were so many I wanted to read.

This #kidlitartpostcard I want to dedicate to the cover reveal of the book I’ve recently worked on with Farshore! I’m on a lookout for cover projects in 2025 💫 #coverreveal #kidlit #middlegrade @andreabrownlit.bsky.social @jemiscoe.bsky.social
