Greta and the Wolves, is the most brilliant text by @zoe_tucker_design that I’m illustrating for this round of @makeartthatsells Illustrating Children’s Books. Zoe says “This story is my attempt to capture some of the wonderful @gretathunberg as she bravely challenges us all to think about climate change.” Looking forward to sharing more with you over the next few weeks! 🐺⚡️ . . . . . . #gretaandthewolves #makeartthatsells #matsicb6 #matsicb #illustration #illo #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #characterdesign #visualstorytelling #childrensbookillustration #ilustración #kidlitart #illustrated #illustracion #illustrazione #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #illustragram #illustrate #illust #illustree #fairytaleillustration #childrensillustration
We’re all so busy these days that it can be hard to make time for personal work. And there’s so much pressure to post content, that we often feel forced to work quickly. We founded PortfolioClub as an antidote to these pressures. It’s a low-commitment challenge, just one piece, once a month...something you can take your time with. 🐌💕 . How it works: We’ll post an assignment on the first day of every month. You post your final on the last day of the month. Follow #PortfolioClub to get updates, and use the hashtag so that everyone can see your piece. Feel free to post wips and sneak peaks throughout the month too. Easy peasy. 👌✨ . Each themed assignment will be developed by one or two art/illustration professionals. Many will tackle different markets, so you can jump in or out from month-to-month as inspiration strikes. 🙌⚡️ . #PortfolioClub is: @jennifermpotter, @juliachristiansde, @kathryndurst, @devonholzwarth, @sinulee, @carolinebonnemuller, @tanja_stephani, @sofiamoore_studio, @rachaelschaferdesigns, @sandiesonke, @laure_illustrations, @louve.draws, @matejalukezic, @nicallanart, @debrastyer, and @kellyannedalton . . . . . #illo #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #artchallenge #illustrationchallenge #artprompts #prompts #characterdesign #visualstorytelling #childrensbookillustration #ilustración #kidlitart #illustrated #illustracion #illustrazione #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #illustragram #illustrate #illust #editorialillustration #surfacepattern #surfacepatterndesign #dessin #patterndesign
It's been an absolute joy working with Amanda Bloom's @littleboxofcrochet over the last few months. This lovely wee company send out the most gorgeous crochet subscription boxes packed with all sorts of goodies (including a postcard and notebook illustrated by yours truly!) and a crochet project for you to tackle. Thanks so much Amanda, I very much enjoyed delving into my first box! 😘 . . . . . . #littleboxofcrochet #amandabloom #crochet #crochetsubscriptionboxes #subscriptionbox #subscriptionboxaddict #crochetaddict #illustration #illustrationartists #chiuahua #beachbody #beachbabe #crochetofinstagram #illustree #illustratrice #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #yarnaddiction #chiuahuasofinstagram

The first @makeartthatsells editorial assignment! We had a list of words to illustrate, some objects, and some more abstract concepts, all super fun to interpret! Can you guess any of the words?
