Here’s another tip: how about we all just ditch Instagram??? It’s crazy how much creatives insist on staying there while simultaneously going oh no one sees my posts, I’m not growing, etc. Girl stop, it’s not you, it’s the app.

somebody emailed me to ask for tips on finding style, so i'm gonna share my thoughts here, too: first of all, don't worry about what you're good at it, or what you want your art to look like. figure out what's fun about the /process/ for you and lean into those elements!

If you see an owl post an 🦉 owl. Actually, I HEARD an owl last night; a Barred Owl! It's been a long time since I've heard one around here. These illustrations are just random owls. #owl #owlillustration #kidlitart #kidlitartist #kidlitcartoonist

Hey #kidlit, here’s an idea for an #artshare. Post two versions of the same piece of art, 1) sketch 2) finished art. It’s good to show art directors like me how you handle sketches. It’s good to model for emerging illustrators how detailed a sketch needs to be. Could be a useful thread. 💙❤️
