Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can capture apartment-life in an urban setting for a beginning reader series with a vibrant ensemble cast and a grayscale interior. Respond here with images and a link to your folio. Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email. 💙❤️

Hot take. Cold take? This is my favorite time of year. I love a warm hat, a chill breeze, no holidays or hubbubs. Everything is quiet and still and slow. January moves like a snail giving me time to feel productive and energized. #kidlitart #illustration

Hi Bluesky, I’m pretty sure the posts I’ve made on Instagram talking about the stickers I sell to raise money for anti-gun violence groups regularly get me shadow banned. Wonder if that will happen here? Who knows but here’s my shop: www.etsy.com/shop/Cassand...

I'm new to Bluesky and I wanted to introduce myself! I’m an illustrator, art director, and professor who lives in Brooklyn, NY. My work focuses on visual storytelling in children’s books, comics, and editorial illustrations. I love creating art for humor, bios/memoirs, nature, and magical stories.

Last month I got a fun commission from a University of California professor to illustrate different mindfulness practices using colorful cute monsters. This was a real joy of a project as meditation and adorable monsters are two favorite things of mine :) #illustration #kidlitartist
