Greetings and salutations! I haven't been popping my head in here much, but I'll try to revive my Blue Sky Spirit. I'm an American Illustrator and Cartoonist living in Amsterdam. I'm open for new commissions, shop talk, and funny animal videos. My portfolio is here: www.rachellemeyer.com

In 2018, this gentleman backed my Kickstarter for Faces on the Ferry, choosing a custom portrait tier. He sprung it on his ferry-loving girlfriend. Fast forward to 2025, and she surprises him with a portrait of their family of three on his birthday. Sweet, huh?

Willful suspension of disbelief is my favorite “character flaw.” We couldn’t tell stories without it. 🕊️
One more page! Then a cover illustration for the proposal, and I’m done! For now.

Cannot express how happy I am to rediscover this album. Great for coloring fairy tale pages! 🧚 ✨ I owned the CD about 25 years ago and couldn’t recall the title. Sinead O’Connor’s fragile voice brought tears to my eyes.

Yesterday, I made a few Free Speech Canary drawings at the rainy art market and gave a couple away. Today, I’m sending the remaining canary to a musician friend in NYC and whipping up a new one for a drawing exchange with the excellent @catherineholmes.bsky.social Embrace action, however small. 🐤

A random person shouted out “You have beautiful hair!” as I cycled to work this morning. Considering that I haven’t been to the hairdresser in 6 months and get scads of targeted ads for mature ladies about hair loss, I’ve decided to allow myself to feel good about being uncut, frumpy and free.

I have over €4k in overdue invoices out right now, have followed up with clients this week, and still have not been paid. If it’s not clear, my freelance income is how I pay bills and buy groceries. There is a kind of alternate reality to weekends, where I dread the impending gap in responses.

A book proposal for a graphic novel is a slog, let there be no doubt. I was reminded of @annelamott.bsky.social and her “bird by bird” advice while working on this particularly feathery passage this weekend, making my mark, panel by panel. 🐦 ✍️
