Tajha 🎨| Looking for PB projects!

Color illustration of an anthromorphic highlander cow wearing a patterned green dress and polka-dot bows on her horns

Pencil sketch of the same cow looking at a bee flying above her

Pencil sketched of the same cow, eyes closed, mouth open, a speech bubble that reads "MAAA" next to her

Pencil sketch of the same cow smiling and dancing with musical notes around her

Character tests for a project that unfortunately didn't go anywhere, but I still quite like this little cow. 🐄

Publishing careers look more like plateaus than ladders.

The data shows long stretches of stability punctuated by small gains, not constant upward motion.

Image of Guy Moon from his Facebook

Screencap of a post on Guy Moon's Facebook: We are overcome with grief to announce the passing of our beloved patriarch, Guy Moon. He was killed on Thursday morning in a traffic collision. We feel singularly blessed to have been able to call him dad and husband. As we stand together at the base of what seems to be an insurmountable grief, we are emboldened to grieve him with honor and courage with the tools that he equipped us with in his beautiful life. He has left an unmistakable legacy, and will be profoundly missed by us, his family, and countless others whose lives he impacted. We are tentatively planning to celebrate his life on his birthday, February 7th, in the Los Angeles area, and again sometime after in his hometown in Wisconsin. We will make details available as we plan. Together we remain, The Moon Family

RIP Guy Moon, the composer for several series, including Fairly OddParents (and the rest of Butch Hartman's work), 2 Stupid Dogs, Cow and Chicken, Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, Back in the Barnyard, and many more.

He was 63 years old.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day!!I'm a Caribbean PB illustrator who loves to illustrate whimsical and fun children's books that champion diversity, respect for nature & life lessons.

Designed these two stickers recently to support an ongoing fundraiser for relief after hurricane Melissa.

I'm so thankful to all those over the years who have supported my art, whether through buying or reposting or sharing an encouraging word.

My journey in Kid Lit Art has been wonderful thanks to you 🥹☺️

I'm represented by @lynnettenovak.bsky.social at the Seymour Agency!

Absolutely in love with this portrait I did for a client.
I enjoy using texture so so much on these. It makes the portraits feel so intimate. 🥰✍🏽

Would rather be a contented creator than a content creator

Put together a small starter pack that will help pump up the volume if your feed is feeling a little quiet.

Cracked floor tile repaired with kintsugi gold method

Does anyone here do Kintsugi? I have a question about whether it can be used to repair a square tile. It has sentimental value to me.

I grabbed a pic off Google just to show an example of the kind of repair.

I finished it! 🎄🤩
