You simply can’t trust that a piece you create will always show up on your portfolio or instagram feed, where it can be closely linked with your contact details. If you’re lucky, and your piece is popular, it’ll wind up on pinterest, tumblr, twitter, etc, and rest assured, you can’t trust anyone, not even billionaire philanthropists, to assign proper credit.

Prompt Party! December 2018 assignment
Prompt Party! December 2018 assignment

As many of you know, I run the Prompt Party account over on instagram. It’s a year old as of last month! It started out as weekly prompts, but a week isn’t always enough time to do portfolio-ready work, especially if you’re busy. It was always my intention to create something that you can jump in and out of from week to week, but after running a poll in my instagram stories, it seems that what’s best for people is fewer, more thoughtful assignments.

The 2018 Global Talent Search
The 2018 Global Talent Search

If you’re reading this, you probably know that I was one of the winners of the Lilla Rogers Studio 2018 Global Talent Search. My life has been an absolute whirlwind since then, but I thought I’d share my thoughts on the competition—what it was like to compete, and what it takes to win—while it’s still reasonably fresh in my mind.

Here's my second assignment for the @makeartthatsells Illustrating Children's Books class. Just to mix things up, I also tried a colored pencil version, which you may have seen in my stories, but I still need to clean it up. . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensbookillustration #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #illustrated #illustracion #dessin #dessinateur #illustrazione #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadartist #matsicb #matsicb6 @procreate
I'm very busy with client work this month but I'm still doing my best to make time for the Illustrating Children's Books class from @makeartthatsells. If you've been following me for a while, you won't be surprised that this is my fourth time taking the class! It's taught by my indomitable agent, @lillarogers, and the super clever, @zoe_tucker_design. This piece is from Zoë's text, Greta and the Wolves, which is inspired by @gretathunberg's activism. It's a lovely story about the power of resistance, and I hope to see it published someday, regardless of who illustrates it (but I would certainly love to)! . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensbookillustration #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlit4climate #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #illustrated #illustracion #dessin #dessinateur #illustrazione #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadartist #matsicb #matsicb6 #gretathunberg #activism @procreate

🐝 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
Here's my piece for the latest @makeartthatsells kid's book assignment. As y'all know, I usually do scenes with full backgrounds, but I wanted to challenge myself to embrace the negative space and do something more character-driven. True to form, I already see something I want to tweak, but it came out pretty close to my initial vision, which is kinda rare for me! . . . . . #illo #illust #illustrationgram #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #illustracion #illustrazione #dessin #childrensbookillustration #bookillustration #kidlitart #picturebook #picturebookillustration #best_of_illustrations #illustrationart #illustrationartist #procreate #procreateart #lillarogers #lillarogersstudio #matsicb #ipadartist #matsb #matskidbook #matskidsbook
If you've known/followed me for a few years, you know I love graphic novels. They're a ton of work, but I'd love to do one someday. In the meantime, here's a mini comic I did for @makeartthatsells Bootcamp. I couldn't decide what to write about, so I wrote about indecision itself. 😆 . . . . . #graphicnovel #comicart #comicbookart #graphicnovelart #illo #illustrated #illustrationartists #illustracion #illustrazione #illustratorsofinstagram #illustragram #illustrate #illust #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #childrensbookillustration #mats #matsbootcamp #matsbootcamp2019 #lillarogers #lillarogersstudio
Here's a sneak peek at something I've been working on.

Working on a ton of stuff I can't share at the moment. So in the meantime, have this antlered beast. I don't know much about him, but he lives in the same universe as our crow friend. Y'all were so good at coming up with names for professor crow...what would you name this guy? . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbook #childrenbook #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsart #kidart #kidsillustration #kidsbooks #kidsbook #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #whimsy #whimsical #gouache #gouachepainting #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #procreateart #lillarogers #ipadartist
