Finally finished my #kidlitartpostcard , fashionably late. It is also #illoagency ‘s october prompt; #artforcause.

Hello #kidlitartpostcard My illo forr this month is not ready yet, so i have a re-do of an old one. I will share the new one if it finishes on time tho! Im repped by the amazing illo agency, and from next month, free or a new adventure! #kidlitart nazlisillustrations.com

The best tip (imo) for illustrated books: never repeat what's in the text in the image. Always add something to the narrative in the image. Think of the art and words as two widgets in a machine with slightly different jobs that work together to make the machine work.

Finally, today I finished the illustrations of one of the book projects i am working in. I can not share any sneak-peaks, but i can share my lovely « cloudy day office » view which have helped me through this intense working months. Illustration is unrelated, from my portrait business.

I’m so excited to share my first book deal with my amazing agency, @illoagency, and my wonderful agent, Amy! Beautiful story about two girls, one from Turkey and the other is from Greece. The book will be published in autumn 2026 by @charlesbridgepublishing !

💙❤️ all the #PortfolioDay posts! Illustrators, I’m an executive art director in Scholastic’s hardcover picture book group. Interested in working together? I’ve created an illustrator contact form just for you! 🤗 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hi #PortfolioDay I am Nazli, I love illustrating details, grandmas and recently historical scenes. I work on PB, MG, cover and editorial kidlit. Very proud to say I am repped by Amy Milligan at Illo Agency.

I just realized that I forgot to share the amazing educational circus pedagogy book i had the chance to illustrate over a year and a half ago. Written by circus educators and health workers from 3 different european countries, it is amazing to read how circus can help to deal with struggles.

I profite from #KidlitArtPostcard day to share this recent cover portfolio piece I did. But do check my original postcard of the month!:) #kidlit

New cover art for my portfolio

It is a spring weather here in Belgium. But it snows in Istanbul. I think it is a perfect time to share this recent #kidlitart ; a first snow day’s joy in Istanbul.

Recent BW portfolio piece.

Been looking for a #fanartfriday for a while; I guess Ratatouille covers it perfectly for me! I enjoy my #rattober2024 #kidlitober #kidlitartpostcardday
