I wanted to make a pencil holder from No Face with das clay, but it was harder than i thought! Still really fun though 😸
Now waiting for the clay to dry so I could paint it

Long time no see!
In this illustration i try to put down what memories are. For me it's like the swirling warped world reflected on translucent soap bubbles, so beautiful but fragile... and transcient.

For the past few weeks I've been working on new pieces to improve my portfolio and look for representation. I reaaaally want to be represented by Cat Agency (since Heart Agency is already impossible for someone like me) their artists all got super cool book projects

I'm so happy that the rainy season stretches into February here. Long cloudy days are the best

I tried to simplify my drawing process lately and applied it to this character design draft for a book project. I liked how it came out :)

On chapter 10 now, things were building up slowly but I can tell that it's all 160 pages of calm before the storm. Coupled with how I stupidly read the forbidden definitely-not-glossary page, this dread I'm feeling is really killing me and flipping over the next page so heavy 😭

Working on embroideries has been quite a hobby of mine for a few months now. A few stitches later I realize I'm approaching it like I would colored pencil on paper

Do you like to PARTY? These dinos sure do. Maybe they went extinct from too many crazy nights. I prefer a quiet evening.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day - and early Valentine's day too!
I'm Nicole Allin, a kidlit illustrator from the Pacific Northwest, currently seeking representation. My favorite part of Valentine's Day is definitely the chocolate- what's yours?

The "The Sandman" audiobook/audio drama is a masterpiece. I've shown so many people the intro of "A Hope in Hell", and everyone is really impressed by the sound production. The cast is also top notch. Can't recommend it enough.
A terrific piece on what @dirkmaggs.bsky.social and I have been trying to do on the Sandman Audio project.

Sandmen: Audio in the Age of Netflix
Neil Gaiman's The Sandman has cultivated a massive fanbase, and masses of adaptations. Why is the 30-year audio project considered inferior to the TV show?

2023 was filled with rejections left and right, in and out. 2024 would still have a lot of failures and no's in stock for me, I guess, and it's super scary but bring it on ❤️🔥

Illustrations about local tradition in Western Sumatra Island called 'Pacu Jawi', or a cow race. Everyone would gather to celebrate rice harvest, with the race held on empty ricefields. The event is filled with music, dances, and well, a lot of mud splashes!
