A recent #illustration for PineStraw & O'Henry Mag, to accompany Katherine Min's The Music Lover. I wanted to give this piece a kind of star-crossed lovers vibe, with a sprinkle of angst and mystery. Lots of fun to work on and an honor to illustrate one of Min's pieces. #editorialillustration #art

August #sketchbook prompt drop! I’ve been enjoying a bit of a pace change recently (as in, slowing downnn!) so haven’t been as present on social media but am looking forward to digging into these for sure ✏️💕 #art

This week’s #sketchbook spread for FOLLOW. The colors didn’t come out exactly like I had imagined but I had lots of fun making it. I love when sketchbook work gives me a little reminder to focus on the process rather than the product 🌿🪶🎒 #kidlitart #art

Any excuse to post a cat 😊 One of my fave spots from last year, for Kazoo Magazine 💕 #kidlitart #kidlit #cat

Monday morning #sketchbook! I think this one is finished 😊 On to FOLLOW tomorrow 🖍️ #art #kidlitart

If you too have been searching for a way to add a Bluesky social icon to your SquareSpace website instead of the generic link icon (bleh!) - here are the resources I used to do that! Any time I use custom code I feel like a genius 😀 This was SO satisfying! ⬇️

The swallowtail butterfly chrysalises in our fennel have opened and I like to think this butterfly I saw today in the beebalm came from one! 🦋🌱✨ #gardening

Today’s #sketchbook progress 🫡 I was looking through old sketchbook photos yesterday and realized this little fox shows up quite frequently! She just works her way into a design without me even thinking about it. Do you have characters that have become friends like that? 💕 #art #kidlitart

I started a SFF world building class this evening (!!!) and it takes place on Tuesday evenings so it’ll be hard for me to join #kidlitchat in earnest the next couple weeks.

Today’s #sketchbook spread progress. I always forget but love rediscovering - wax pastels are so good for your soul ✨ #art #kidlitart

It was a magic leaf day today. It was also sooo hot out. Only one of these things was fun 😅

The beginnings of this week’s sketchbook spread for STEM 🌷🌿🦊✨ Happy Monday, y’all!

I went on a lovely vacation last week with my college besties and am mentally still in Mexico. So I'm a little late sharing July's sketchbook prompts BUT here they are! This is my first time posting my prompts here rather than on Instagram and it feels GREAT. (More info about these in the comments!)

Had so much fun at #kidlitchat tonight! Was honestly a little nervous since it was my first time and I wasn’t sure how it all worked but it was so welcoming. And I learned a lot too! Hooray! 💕📚✨

Maeve earlier today. She’s such a vibe ☀️

If you see this, quote reply with something summery from your portfolio! ☀️ #KidLitArt #art

I think maybe these are swallowtail butterfly caterpillars?! I found quite a few in our fennel. So excited to watch them over the next couple weeks 😀 This is the first year I’ve seen them here!

It's me! I am so grateful to be a part of the @andreabrownlit.bsky.social sisterhood. I pinch myself on a regular basis that I get to work with these amazing women and superstar clients! I'm not open to queries (outside of referrals) yet, but keep an eye out. I'm hoping to open back up in late Aug.

Hi! My name is Jesse - I'm an illustrator, author, and muralist creating whimsical, wonder-filled work that explores imagination and adventure. Heavily influenced by my experience growing up in rural NC, my art is often connected to the natural world in some way. Excited to build a community here ✨
