Today is Fred Rogers’ Birthday! 🎉 Here are some of his most iconic quotes to read and reflect on to celebrate today.

I've updated all my Twitch emotes- and added some new ones! You can get them at www.twitch.tv/jmillustrates, and I'll be streaming tonight at 7pm PST! #art #illustration #jackolantern #pumpkin #twitch #emotes #gif

Amazing to see @drewstruzanart greatness recognized in this year’s @theacademy Oscar’s In Memoriam segment. We miss you, Drew. ❤️❤️❤️

IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH Y'ALL! I drew this yesterday when I needed a lil bit of whimsy, and I decided to turn into a print: jmtolmanillustration.gumroad.com/l/Friday13th (Reposted because I didn't proofread enough the first time lol) #art #illustration #jackolantern #pumpkin #fridaythe13th

Another design from my LGBT+ greeting card set! I think I would like to touch up the interior illustration before potentially putting it up as a digital download, but I still ADORE the concept 💕 #art #illustration #lgbt #gay #queer #greetingcards #romance

Found these two girls while looking through some older files! They were part of a collection of LGBT+ greeting cards, which unfortunately I couldn't find a buyer for. Maybe I can put them up as digital downloads? #art #illustration #lgbt #sapphic #queer #greetingcards #romance

Final Autumn People in winter piece: A New Friend!! This one is MY FAVORITE! It turned out amazing, and perfectly captures the magic of winter ✨ In fact, I love it so much that I have it up for sale! jmtolmanillustration.gumroad.com/l/WinterPump... #art #illustration #jackolantern #pumpkin #winter

The second piece from my little winter series is called Bursting with Fun! I might revisit this one a few months down the line, but I do like how it turned out. #art #illustration #jackolantern #pumpkin #winter

I've been working on a little winter series for my Autumn People! Here is the first piece: Snow Day❄️ #art #illustration #happyholidays #jackolantern #pumpkin #winter

Returning from the blessed Women's FS free skate (god I'm so happy but WHY CAN'T WE GIVE OUT TWO GOLDS) to post the final Monster Girl Sweet Shop: "No Samples"! (Repost, I forgot the alt text lol) #art #illustration #monsters #pophorror #monstergirls #horror #sweets #candy

Jane Baer has died at 91. A titan, she worked on 'Sleeping Beauty,' co-founded Baer Animation, supervised 'Roger Rabbit,' and advocated for her fellow artists. Few careers trace the evolution of late-20th-century American animation as completely. www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/jane-bae...

I already have 3/5 of the Monster Girl Sweet Shop series posted- might as well post the rest! This is "Homespun Cotton Candy", and I HAVE to give credit to my Twitch chat for suggesting a Drider! #art #illustration #valentines #monsters #pophorror #monstergirls #horror #sweets #candy #drider

Last couple piece from my Monster Girl Sweet Shops series: Love Runs the All-Nite Cafe! I use these two a LOT in my branding- I just love how they turned out! ‪ #art #illustration #valentines #monsters #pophorror #monstergirls #horror #sweets #cafe

Another couple from my Monster Girl Sweet Shops series! This is the piece "Mint to Be Ice Cream", and man, I still love it. ‪ #art #illustration #valentines #monsters #pophorror #monstergirls #horror #sweets #icecream

More monster couples 💕 This is the piece "Moonlight & Blood Bakery" from my Monster Girl Sweet Shop series, featuring Edith & Bella! #art #illustration #valentines #monsters #pophorror #monstergirls #horror #sweets

Here's Monster Boys in Love, the companion series to Monster Girl in Love! I painted it a year later after a customer asked if I could add some queer monster art with men- a fantastic idea, so I did it! The water monsters one is my FAVORITE #art #illustration #valentines #monsters #pophorror

Oh hey, it's February, which means I can post my super cutesy monster pieces! The first is my Monster Girls in Love series, made waaaay back in 2021 and originally meant to be a pattern. Didn't work as a pattern, but the drawings worked as prints! #art #illustration #valentines #monsters #pophorror

Giving myself a mental break to post one of my most popular prints: The Jellybean Cats! Started as a drawing exercise, ended up as a print & a pattern. Still one of my top sellers five years later! #art #illustration #pattern #patterndesign #surfacedesign #cats #cartoon #cute

Wow! Thank you to everyone who participated in the Publishing for Minnesota auction! #kidlit #publishing

Hey #Kidlit, I donated a one hour portfolio/dummy critique to raise money for Minnesota. The auction will run from Thursday at 12AM untill Friday at 11:45PM. 💙❤️ www.32auctions.com/organization...

And to my fellow Angelenos: I strongly encourage you to follow @lataco.bsky.social, who have been posting daily ICE Tracker updates & video memos about ICE's actions in SoCal since early 2025. They are an invaluable resource and I cannot recommend them enough!

Hey, so, while I'm not going to post extensively about current events on this account, as I do want to keep it focused on art, I want to boost www.standwithminnesota.com. There is an extensive list of funds you can donate to (or link to, if money is tight but you want to spread the word).

Final bit of Autumn People vis dev for now: furniture! I originally wanted to do Gilded Age inspired pieces, but ended up drawing more inspiration from DIY fairy house furniture. You can still see some Gilded Age in the silhouettes, though! #art #sketch #visualdevelopment #visdev #illustration

More Autumn People vis dev! I took a LOT of inspiration from fairy houses made out of tree stumps. I strongly recommend you check out R/FairyGardens and R/Gardening for fairy house inspo! #art #sketch #visualdevelopment #visdev #illustration #plants #trees

This week, I thought I would share some of the vis dev pieces I've done for the the Autumn people and their world! Today I want to share some of the style explorations I did for trees and different bushes. #art #sketch #visualdevelopment #visdev #illustration #plants #trees

Season's Greetings from The Autumn People! 🎃✨ I've been developing the Autumn People into a bigger project on Twitch for the past few months! Expected to see more of these little guys over the next year or so. Happy Holidays, everyone! #art #illustration #happyholidays #jackolantern #winter

The design on the left is one of the first patterns I ever made, & the one on the right is a re-imagining I did five years later! I think I did a pretty good job of keeping the vibe while improving the overall look. #art #illustration #christmas #winter #patterns #patterndesign #fabric

A very simple fall pattern I made last year for fun! And of course, I had to make a jack-o-lantern version. #art #illustration #halloween #patterns #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns

Brain tired, have some cute pink owls in teacups ‪ #art #illustration #cute #owls #tea

One of my favorite patterns!✨ It's loosely based on nightshade flowers, and I believe I did submit it to a Spoonflower contest- but make no mistake, I made it 100% for myself lol. #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #floral #pastelgoth

These are SO old that I forgot they existed! Waaay back in 2020, I was DEEP into New Horizons and wanted to get back into shape-based styles after years of linear based ones, so I made these basic phone wallpapers! Feel free to use 'em (1/3) #art #illustration #animalcrossing #fanart #nintendo

This is a fun one lol. So, Spectral Sweethearts started as a fabric design for Spoonflower, but I thought it was SO cute that I turned one of the couples into a pin, ha! #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #ghosts #horror #pophorror #enamelpin #pin

A lil post-stream sketch I did last summer, when the heat was not letting up. I like the dismal-yet-dreamy vibe of this piece, very fitting for that point in time. #art #illustration #sketch #portrait #summer

I was going through my files, and found this older contest design! It's called Lil’ Witch’s First Coven, and it was my first attempt at an 'endless landscape' piece. I think it holds up! #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #witch #pastel #magic #fantasy #forest

This is Fantastical Florals, and it's the pattern I use for my header image! I made it for a Spoonflower Pantone challenge a couple of years ago, but between you and me I like the autumnal colorway more 😉 #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #floral #folkart #pantone

Tunes for Freaknik Ghouls🎶 Another series that started as a fabric design, and later got remixed as a print series. The whole thing was inspired by album covers from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. And, of course, monsters! #art #illustration #monsters #horror #retro #pophorror

Literary Kitties! 📚🐈✨ Two of my most successful prints EVER. Shout out to my stream chat for helping me brainstorm cat puns for the book titles, that was so much fun! #art #illustration #cats #reading #books #cute #puns

Another old Halloween pattern of mine, to celebrate the nice holiday weekend I had: Batties! #art #illustration #halloween #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #bats #goth

The Night of Meows! 🎃🐈✨ I made these last year juuuust in time for LACC, and they were a hit! I just love how joyful all the cats in this series turned out. 🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!🎃 ‪ #art #illustration #halloween #cats #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns #cute

A few years later after I made my Pastel Halloween patterns, I was determined to turn the masks one into a standalone print. But each of my attempts failed... until I realized I could have other monsters wear the masks! The full series: (1/2) #art #illustration #halloween #monsters #horror #spooky

Another set of patterns! Both of these were done for the Pastel Halloween contest on Spoonflower years ago. I submitted the left one, and it did really well! #art #illustration #halloween #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns #spooky #Spoonflower #pastelgoth

Two of my older seasonal patterns: Jack-o-Lanterns & Pumpkins of Autumn! 🎃✨ (Reposted because I forgot to add some alt text, whoops!) #art #illustration #halloween #patterns #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns #spooky

Another recent series: Furrever Friends! 👻🐈 This was NOT supposed to be a series- they started as warm-up doodles for a twitch stream. But I liked those sketches so much that I finished them up✨️ #art #illustration #halloween #ghosts #cats #spooky #pastel #cute #pophorror

Hi there! I'm JM Tolman, an illustrator & graphic designer, and I'm finally using this account! I tend toward the retro, sweetly-spooky side of pop art, and I design fabric as a side gig. For my first post, here's my recent series The Autumn People! #art #illustration #halloween #autumn #spooky
