Children's Book Illustration showing a giraffe cabby driver learning out the window of his taxi, pointing at a pile of teetering suitcases that a frog bell hop is carrying. The bell hop looks stressed, carrying suitcases, with bags over one arm, and holding an umbrella over a snooty looking kitten. The kitten is wearing a green peacoat and holding a stuffed mouse in her arms. She has her nose up in the air.
March #kidlitartpostcard day was just begging for a frog illo, so i drew a rather stressed out bell “hop”. 🐸 😁 I hope your day is going better than his!
Open to PB and MG projects.

A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives
I heard from my publisher today that the books are on their way 🚚📦📚
So excited!
This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal
The thing no one tells you about pursuing art professionally is that no matter how good you get, you will look at other artists and go "wow, I wish I was good like they are..." every day of your whole life😹
Art of a young East asian girl wearing a yellow outfit and holding a red ribbon. She rides a red horse with flames for its mane and tail. A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.
Happy Year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐎!

Hi #kidlitartpostcard !! 👋 I’m Amanda, I love illustrating both picture books and board books!
Something I would love to illustrate is a book focusing on historical figures in the arts! Which is why I am sharing my new portfolio pieces on the amazing Jane Austen.
Children’s book illustration showing a raccoon in a hot air balloon pouring a bag of hearts out onto the land below. The hot air balloon is red and has a pattern of hearts on it. The earth below the raccoon and balloon is blue, and trees, a farm, a village, and a city can be seen, all in shades of blue. The hearts from the raccoon’s bag are red and orange and are swirling down onto the earth below, brightening the land where they touch to shades of yellow and orange.
Our world needs more love. Let’s all do our part to spread as much as possible! Oh, and if you’re an art director and have a “lovely” project for me, I’d like that too. 😉

I have noticed a few friends struggling with getting their scripts out faster, so I wanted to share one of the ways I get a script out FAST without overthinking it, then go back and tweak and tighten later:

Children’s book illustration of a cool bear wearing a color block t shirt, listening to head phones, and riding a skateboard. The image is arranged in several spot illustrations showing the bear first riding his skateboard with music notes around his head symbolizing that he’s listening to music. Next he stops his skateboard as he notices a smell drifting through the air. The next spot illustration shows him sniffing with his tongue hanging out. He continues to follow the amazing smell down the page until his board hits a curve and sends him tumbling onto the grass. The last image shows him landing in front of a little bunny who is eating a pizza. The bear looks like he REALLY wants a bite of that pizza!
Happy New Year! I’m welcoming in the new year with this very cool bear. His only downfall is Pizza.🍕😎 Get in touch if you need someone to bring humor, heart, and whimsy to a project.
