Hi hi! I'm Eloise, a writer and illustrator specializing in animal characters and their communities.
Join me as I make the sort of illustrations I pored over as a kid, share books (and video games) I love, and attempt an assortment of crafty hobbies.
Got to use JooHee’s gorgeous book 100 Birds of Rhode Island to assure myself that the robin I saw is probably a robin.

Today I learned that many robins do stay put for the winter (although it seems like it’s climate change related?) and that they’re a type of thrush.

Anyway it was a treat to see this guy on my little run around my neighborhood today and to not slip and fall on the ground while looking for birds.

Celebrating The Joy of Reading
Did you know that the Community Libraries of Providence is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and we are not a municipal library? This means we must actively seek out new avenues for philanthropic support to be able to sustain our p...

"How do I find my art style?"
I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get.

They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies.

This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

Yet another reminder, we are the majority
Parental restrictions on library access continues to remain incredibly unpopular for a fourth year in a row.

The vast majority of public school parents are not looking to limit their children’s access in the library.

That’s a wrap! Thanks for sticking with me through a full month of little boar drawings.

Will I ever post this much again? Probably! But for now I’m going to spend most of my November reading fiction and playing Hades 2.

Please enjoy this grid as a last #peachtoboar treat.

Tonight! This may be hopelessly nerdy but I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing the library at night.

I am also looking forward to dancing and drinks and the normal things people like about parties. But to do it all at a library? What a treat.

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

Glowingly proud, as always, of Providence's libraries, especially @9librariespvd.bsky.social

(The Athenaeum, Risd's Fleet Library, and Brown's libraries aren't public libraries but they are also some of my favorite places in the city.)
Libraries as Community Space in Providence
Libraries are widely known as home to hundreds of thousands of stories. Yet, they’re also one of the most overlooked, free, community spaces. While hosting physical and digital media, they’re also a p...
