QRP with your favorite illustrators from your childhood! For me it's Trina Schart Hyman, Leo and Diane Dillon, Mary GrandPre and Chris Van Allsburg. Together they illustrated nearly all my favorite books and they are all HUGE influences on my work today!

Painting otherworldly portraits is my comfort food. When I'm painting a portrait I feel like I'm hanging out with the subject and learning more about them the longer I spend working on it.

Hey everyone I know there’s A LOT going on right now. But please pay attention to the SAVE ACT. If you changed your name in marriage, and even if you kept that new name after divorce (like I did), you could lose your right to vote. www.newsweek.com/married-wome...

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

Every month I post an article on my Patreon explaining some aspect of the professional illustration world. Past topics have been everything from "How to Contact ADs" to "Art Contracts 101" What subject would YOU like to hear an art director cover in a future post? www.patreon.com/c/AskanArtDi...

Ahhh yayyy! I get to share the Aetherdrift secret lair I co-art directed! This one was really complex: my fellow AD Sarah Wassell and I worked with 3 different artists for each card (A 3D modeler, a type designer and an illustrator). But I think they look incredible!

Many years ago in undergrad a teacher gave us an assignment to reimagine a classical piece of art using modern subject matter. This was my adaptation of Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi.

Henriette Rae is a great example of why whenever male artists share examples of "the masters" and the list is all other male artists I know they just didn't bother looking very far
