I guess you could say I love drawing cats. Only about 80% of what I draw is cats, so is that enough to count as LOVE? I'm not currently working on any projects so this would be great. My portfolio is: https://daniduck.com/

That's the thing. In order to verify the name, he has to have access to that website. Which verifies him as being exactly who he says he is.

reply

joeuchill.bsky.social•571 days ago

I think we agree he has a website. My question was whether he could verify he worked for Scholastic. LinkedIn is great, as would have been this: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-industry-news/article/91452-children-s-job-moves-january-2023.html

zackdavisson.com•571 days ago

Ummmm.... he is highly unlikely to have gone to all the effort to create https://www.brianlarossa.com , populate it with information and links to his work, all for the purpose of checking out some cat art.
