🎨 My art supplies haul from my honeymoon trip to France! 🇫🇷 I was thrilled to be able to visit Sennelier and La Maison du Pastel during my trip. I had to exercise a lot of restraint, but I’m so excited to try out all of these in my sketchbook and personal pieces. — #artsupplies #illustration #paris

The #Peachtober2025 thread 🧵 — #kidlitart #illustration

I last minute decided to try and do #peachtober this year. 🥴 let’s see if I can keep up and figure out what my art looks like outside of the 9-5

My FAV piece I’ve gotten done by one of the BEST people I know

Tiger and magpie from kpop demon hunters! AKA the best characters :)

After my visit earlier this year to the Oregon coast, I wanted capture it in an illustration. PNW coasts are next level of mystery and magic ✨ #kidlitart

About a month ago I stumbled into Coyote-palooza, a big educational celebration of one of our most misunderstood neighbors. Its great to see orgs like the Portland Urban Coyote Project informing the public on the best ways to coexist with these guys!

Any recommendations for Annecy, France? I’ll be going there mid September. What are must do’s for the area? #reccs #france

Some recent personal art that I’ve been doing lately + pieces for the coaster show for @gallerynucleus.bsky.social

Ci2025 is coming up in PDX so signing a fresh batch of books for @gloobooks.bsky.social as they visit the awesome bookstores here in the PNW. 📚🌲 #kidlit #kidlitart @americanbookseller.bsky.social

Some #sketchbook tings ✏️ #artist #pdxart

Signs of spring are in full swing throughout Portland 🌸 — Lately, I’ve been revisiting sketches on my iPad that I’ve abandoned for one reason or another. After some time away, it’s refreshing as I’m working on creating for myself again. — #kidlitart #pdxart #illustration #spring

The animated book trailer I made for the 1 year book birthday for Mostly Me in September 2024 🥰 (sound on!) #kidlit #kidlitart #2Danimation

Today was one of those soul sucking days at my 9-5. But once I closed my laptop to go outside and enjoy the rest of the nice spring day, it didn’t matter as much anymore. My husband caught these candids of me soaking up the last bits of sunshine and strumming on my ukulele.

Common Side Effects is the best show that I hear too little about. Animated show on Max by Mike Judge and the folks behind Scavenger’s Reign (another banger.) It’s hilarious, surprising, moving and profoundly relevant. Full recommendation.

My acrylic painting COASTAL POPPIES

Need to print this out and frame it near my desk

Trying out a new metaphor. Gen Ai is like a microwave. In a hurry it will do something akin to cooking/baking but for most things it's never as good as taking your time to make the real thing. If you need to stuff your face in 60 seconds cuz capitalism needs you at work, it's a choice.

I got a fun opportunity to be a featured artist for this month with the Tiny Gallery at St John’s here PDX! I ended up making 12 minis (3x3”) that were themed around the idea of a Tiny [Big] Band. Fun fact: I played the trombone for 7.5 yrs & now learning the ukulele #kidlitart #illustration

It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally going on our honeymoon in September 🥹 I’m really looking forward to celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary in France 🇫🇷

A snowy Valentines weekend ☃️💌

Hey #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I’m a children’s book author/illustrator trying to get my act together, working on updating my site with recent work—like this illustration inspired by my son learning to growl. Say hi if you think I might be a good fit for one of your projects. Thanks! #kidlitart #kidlit

Hayao Miyazaki's short guide to watercolor painting -- we put this translation together a couple of years ago

My soul needed a weekend like this just making riso prints, cozy crocheting, and hanging with some cool pals.

Happy #lunarnewyear my fellow snakessssss LFG 🐍🧧 #kidlitart #illustration #yearofthesnake

Recent designs for Ben Marriotts After Effects morph course. Been listening to a lot of ambient jazz lately.

Starting this account with some of my favs things to illustrate, cabins & trees🌲

I started learning Blender last year and made my first ever thing in 3d! I really loved the Patata School course to learn how to make this cute cabin and bear🐻 Slowly working on making more but it can be hard to do both client work and work on a new skill✏️

Bear gets introduced to the Great Bear constellation ✨️ 🐻 ✨️ #kidlitart #illustration #art #bear

My heart always leaps whenever I see or hear the continued impact of ‘Mostly Me’. Still so grateful that I was able to bring this story to life last year. 💚💙

Mine and @kenichaffee.bsky.social holiday card that we sent out to our loved ones this year. Inspired by our pets and affinity for Snoopy. #kidlitart #greetingcard #design #holidayseason

I’ve been super inspired by my brother and sister for doing marathons the past few years. I’m hoping once I strengthen my ankle again, I can work towards the goal of doing one with them.

Some cowgirl designs! These were sooo much fun. 🥹 #characterdesign #animation

Last #kidlitartpostcard of the year! It’s getting cold here in the PNW ❄️ 🖥️: crystaldrawn.com 🎨: instagram.com/crystaldrawn 📧: [email protected] Projects I’m interested in doing are children’s books, board books, covers, and chapter books.

Rolly Crump's design of the Tower of the Four Winds, for the World's Fair in 1964. After the Fair, it was dismantled and put into storage (or trashed? idk). Sad. I've always wanted someone with the means to somehow remake it. Some day? #wardsmorguefile

Snowshoeing with @crystaldrawn.bsky.social

TOMORROW! #KidLitArt chat November It’ll be yummy 😋

I’ve been feeling really inspired by the gorgeous work of @natandrewson.bsky.social I got from Secret Room Press. Pick yourself up a copy, this is a MUST in your library!

@asiadraws.bsky.social hi Asia!! 👋 😄

I was asked this question at work and I’m always curious to know thoughts from others who are in the same boast as me: 💭 How do you balance your creative practice when you also do that for your “9-5” (day job, freelance, whatever applies to you here)? #creativepractice #artists

Hey BlueSky, are there any good #animation or #motiondesign Feeds I should follow or get in on?

All, if you're waking up to the news this morning, you are not alone. Every emotion you have right now is valid. Every. single. one. Especially if you have 2016 PTSD, like the majority of us. Here are three things to do this morning: 1. Don't watch or listen to the news.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign
