Hi, I’m Danielle. I’m an illustrator located in central Indiana. I’m open for future projects and opportunities! Check out my portfolio at danielleharrellart.com

It’s the most wonderful time of the month! It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! I love cozy scenes and wintery wonderlands. I’m represented by @jenrofe.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social and would love to work with you on all your joy filled projects!

I’ve face a lot of rejections and changes these past few months. I’m grateful to have made it through #kidlitchat

It’s amazing you sold 25 books! WOW! I hope your cold isn’t too bad though #kidlitchat

Good luck! Way to be brave!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Got a good laugh out of this, thank you!

Folks! I’m looking for an illustrator to do some in-game artwork for an unannounced project on a contract basis in November.

Feel free to shoot me a DM with your portfolio if you’re interested!

Must be based in the UK, and absolutely no AI 🌟

🎨 It’s a Draw This In Your Style! Create your own version of this image. I'll pick a favorite on Sept 30th & send the artist a signed and personalized copy of my new book PIGGY BANK SAVES THE DAY!

I really believe we’re headed for a creative revolution.

Feels like we’re reaching an apex of creative industry jobs cutting pay/disappearing altogether, while the process for making/releasing indie comics/games/movies has never been more democratized.

They’re making it so we have nothing to lose

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late

Anthropomorphized version of planet Mars, illustration. She has triangular earrings, a tank top, red rocky skin and a multicolor short cut hairstyle. Drawn by gdbeeart in paint tool sai 2025

I'm rezzing the Planettes art series! Planettes was/is a series of 13 ladies designed off real planet facts, with one for each planet + Pluto, the Sun, Earth's moon, and Milky Way. First up is Mars!
Fun fact: Mars has two wobbly lil moons that were probably captured asteroids

THIS IS GORGEOUS! THE HAIR THE RED TONES MMMMMMMMM

So pretty!

Is LinkedIn actually useful to us artists? This is SO frustrating!!!

This is so helpful! I’ve had a situation with each of these 😭 (particularly the art style… it just feels like a punch to the gut) Putting all of this in my notes to save for later
