I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

I love being a human artist and creating something never before seen, out of my mind’s eye. I love making every decision with care. I love trying and failing. I love noticing mistakes and fixing them. I love it all.

doll time! 🪆 #kidlitart #illustration

Also, when it comes to art school, I think the question has to be "Can you graduate without debt? Will your parents pay for your tuition?" There are plenty of state schools with decent programs and ways to learn the skills without a 100-200k debt burden at the end.

Thought I'd share some interior art from the two Little Golden Books I illustrated. I am so chuffed to see the books being promoted so much especially since this is a musical that is so near and dear to my heart 💚🩷

I was very fortunate to take @scottepstein.bksy.social character design course! 😸 I have been wanting to take an online specialized class for a while now and felt very grateful to be able to have such a wonderful teacher!🥹 Some of my work on a historical Filipino Rumplestiltskin retelling 🌱
