What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

#kidlit illustrators work so hard to produce enough books to support themselves that they often experience repetitive strain injuries. Making a living from illustrating children’s books should honestly be an Olympic sport.

It is extremely challenging to craft a truly excellent book.

We don't all have the same number of bones or muscles. There's an average, I guess. We all kind of cluster around it. Some muscles are pretty rare. Some people just invent their own artisanal bones.

Hi Bluesky! I'm Chamisa, an illustrator/author based in Portland, Oregon. I make picture books, graphic novels and surface pattern design, all with my signature whimsy and wonder.

Here's a self portrait inspired by my love of botany and gardening 🌿
