Hi Gwen! I think they're only looking at candidates who are in the USA timezones, but I'll pass along your work anyways! :)

Any production artists looking for a full time gig atm? Have a friend looking for mid to senior 2d concept artists & illustrators for mobile games- animation production art or game production art portfolios would be a fit to forward!

Hi Brian!
Here are some farm vehicles for an Oxford University Press book I worked on a little while ago. I linked my site with the case study if you want to read more about it. :)

Life Pro Tip: Delete all of your streaming services and get a DVD player and a library card. It's saved us over $100/month, cut down on tv time and what we do watch is much more deliberate now. Small bonus, gives a little Blockbuster hit of nostalgia picking out movies in person.

Ours has a great game collection which we use too. Also, most libraries use the TLN library catalog app, so you β€œorder” books in your library network. I’ve basically stopped buying novels, which saves money, but also a lot of having to figure out what to do with all the books after I read them!

I did this too! My parents gave me their old blu ray player- I’ve been really enjoying special features again!

Bonus points if you get Libby/ hoopla and kanopy!

Sad. My mum worked there for around 25 years, but laid off when the unions collapsed. I’ll really miss the HBC stuff, it’s a subtle nod to canadianness for me living stateside.

Maybe some magical Canadian company can rebuy it at a bargain price and bring it back to its former glory.

I’m Michelle and I love space, drawing and fun colors! Here’s a recent cosmic piece of art inspired by an PB I’m working on about adventuring through the galaxy. πŸ––

March is chilly in Michigan, and I'm impatient for spring to come! Here's a painting I made last night of Link. (I'm also impatient and hoping there will be a Switch 2: Legend of Zelda Windwaker re-release). 🀞

There is a lot of impatience and hoping happening with me.
