What amazing news! Can’t wait to snag a copy next year 🤗 Congrats @julianplum.com !!

Working out my #Telemachus design for the “Legendary” #EPICthemusical animatic that I’m slowly plugging away at in the background. The song gives me “classic Disney growing up montage” vibes so we’ll see him around age ~10 in the beginning and ~20 at the end! #characterdesign #kidlit #kidlitart

i tried to draw something and i went thru the 9 circles of hell

That struggle of posting art online.

Do y’all hashtag your art based solely on the content of the piece or do you also include your primary genre(s) no matter what 🤔? #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #art

If you see this, post a #dragon ! 🐲 #artshare #illustration
