Hey #KidLit community, Hope you're all having a wonderful summer. I decided to submit an illustration for this month's #scbwi Draw This art prompt. #scbwiDrawThis #scbwillustrators July 2024 - The prompt: "backpack" - My submission for your review 👇🏻 I titled it Little Explorer.

Hey fellow #KidLit Creators! I'm attending the SCBWI Summer Virtual Conference! I hope to see some of you in the coffee lounge. #scbwisummer24 #scbwi

I loved listening to Sharee Miller talk about making graphic novels. I feel like I got a good understanding of just how much work goes into making them now! This is my quick watercolor portrait I did of her while I took notes. #scbwinotes #scbwiSummer24 #kidlitcommunity scbwi

Got three rejection emails from illustration agents this morning. It’s definitely a personal record for me. I’m just gonna take it as a win. My favorite part about the emails is when some include links to illustration classes in their messages. It’s the cherry on top for me.

#artober2024 #scbwiartober #scbwiartober2024 - Day 1 - October 1st - prompt: “whispers” - I went with ancient voices whispering from beyond.

Day 8: Artober prompt is “stew". I grew up eating gumbo, especially in Fall. I still make my Granny’s recipe. Every time I get that roux going & the kitchen fills up with magical smells of Louisiana cookin, I think of Granny. She was the best chef. #Artober2024 #scbwiArtober2024

🕰️ I spent over 1,000 hours learning to to become a picture book illustrator — because art college completely failed to teach me. Here's everything I learned distilled into 11 notes (that you can start applying today)
