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.

Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more

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.
