A cartoon-style illustration of a person with curly hair working on a laptop, imagining an artist holding a paintbrush and pencil. The text reads: "Are you an agent who represents illustrators or writer-illustrators? Please answer my short, multiple choice anonymous survey about how you find illustrators. Aggregate results will be shared publicly to help illustrators looking for work." A handwritten "thank you!" is included with a heart, along with a QR code and a URL for the survey. Illustration by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.
