PORTFOLIO TIPS FOR ILLUSTRATORS I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔 This is a doc I wrote featuring tips and tricks for how to make a better art portfolio site. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful <3 #art

I decided to finish out my #folktaleweek 2025 for the New Year. Seemed apropos. Joy to you in 2026! #kidlit #kidlitart

Happy New Year!!🎊🎉🥳✨✨ Same stuff I said last year! Thank you to everyone who has supported me! I hope to continue doing what I love always!~

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Rex got his first government photo taken! Baby passport photos are so fun! We had him sitting on the stool while his dad squatted out of sight holding him so he wouldn’t fall and me behind the photographer trying to get him to look at the camera. He is now half a year old! #illustration #kidlitart
