Hey #kidlit illustrators!

I'm looking for an artist to work on a picture book who can capture both the grandeur of vast arctic landscapes AND the intimacy of a family's story peppered with wildlife. Share samples below. Please no DMs. Agents feel free to email.

All aboard! It’s #KidLitArtPostcard Day, and these good boys and girls are off to school! When I was a kid, dogs would sometimes crash recess, causing chaos. Maybe today’s lesson is ‘How to Cause the Best Kind of Mayhem’! What’s on their school schedule? 🐕✨

Last week, I wrapped up a new batch of tabletop game maps that I think are my best yet! I've been freelancing for WizKids and the HeroClix games for almost 5 years, designing maps for Marvel, DC, and WB properties. I'd love to do more TTG design work and be more involved with development + planning!

Publishers aren’t just looking for beautiful illustrations; they want artists who can bring stories to life in a way that resonates with young readers, and know HOW to create publishing specific artwork.

My first illustration is of Diahann Carroll in the tv show Julia (1968-1971). She was the first Black actress to star in her own TV series where she didn't play a domestic worker. She was a young widow raising a 5 year old son in a nice apartment while working as a nurse. #bhm #blackhistorymonth
