Been brewing away in hibernation mode lately, drawing and writing... #illustration #kidlitart

A messy colorful painting done with acrylic and markers of a vase of full of wildflowers with an eye on the vase

I should... I should write a story so wild and smart. I should draw a world so kind and full of love. I should just make the thing, be brave and put it down. I should, I should... Well, here's a messy painting instead. It's a start. #humanmadeart #painting

Dear robot, make art

Last year, I had the experience of being asked to transition to AI generation at my ongoing illustration job, which was surreal for sure. I wrote a post about my experience and my thoughts about using AI as an artist in the workplace, you can read it on my Instagram bit.ly/3NluzS2

Everybody scream! The moon is screaming, surrounded by bats and ghosts

A silhouette is confronted by a group of colorful weird monsters, including a ghoul, a vampire, a hag, some kind of space alien thing maybe?

Hope your Halloween is bright, colorful and weird! ✨🎃✨ #illustration #kidlitart #halloween #madewithhumanintelligence

Handwritten text reads: Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators? Beside the message is an illustration of a round winged horse with the hashtagged Pictures Mean Business. Illustration credit: Sarah McIntyre.

Authors & Publishers posting about illustrated books, pls credit the ILLUSTRATOR.

Sleep is productive too! And important!

Hot take. Cold take? This is my favorite time of year. I love a warm hat, a chill breeze, no holidays or hubbubs. Everything is quiet and still and slow. January moves like a snail giving me time to feel productive and energized. #kidlitart #illustration

If you are new to bluesky, start HERE! 💙

Hi Bluesky, I’m pretty sure the posts I’ve made on Instagram talking about the stickers I sell to raise money for anti-gun violence groups regularly get me shadow banned. Wonder if that will happen here? Who knows but here’s my shop: www.etsy.com/shop/Cassand...

I'm new to Bluesky and I wanted to introduce myself!
I’m an illustrator, art director, and professor who lives in Brooklyn, NY. My work focuses on visual storytelling in children’s books, comics, and editorial illustrations. I love creating art for humor, bios/memoirs, nature, and magical stories.

Oooh!! Okay good to know and good detective work! Thank you!

Is it just always #portfolioday? I feel like I always randomly see posts for it, but is there like, an actual schedule to it? #realquestion #kidlitart

Entered a writing competition just for fun!

Thank you so much!

Sharing another commission from last year, from a project that didn't take off. But I had a blast drawing these cool playground kids! #kidlitart #childrensillustration

💖 thanks!
