Happy kid lit postcard day! Here's a new character I'm working on for a pitch--the Starlequin!

It's kidlit art postcard day!! Who knows if we celebrate here on tumblr? Maybe we do now! I'm Jordan and I'm a gouache artist looking for both representation and book projects. I'd love to illustrate something about seasons or tiny creatures.

Woo hooo I made a new art Tumblr in time for Kidlit Art Postcard Day!

I'm an illustrator from Florida. I have a background in gallery shows and currently make coloring pages and interactive art for patreon but would love to transition into picture books or chapter books for elementary school age readers. I'm especially interested in projects that feature sea creatures or forest imagery. Kidlit Portfolio

#KidLitArtPostcard At @ksmo_scbwi’s Illustrator Day, Taylor Abatiell from @penguinworkshop presented a session on developing illustrator postcards. It was an excellent workshop and perfect timing for nudging a jump into #KidLitArtPostcard Day. #Illustration #KidsBooks #KidLit #KidLitArt #GraphicStorytelling https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch9_eoBuqXm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Follow up to artist marketing- I have an excellent always updated portfolio, my agent says it looks near perfect, I participate in kidlit art postcards on Twitter, I follow dozens of art directors and editors on insta and Twitter, and my agent says she sends out look books. What else can I do? Have I done everything to try to book illo work w/no luck?

It sounds like you are doing everything right. :-) (In the old days I would have suggested sending physical postcards to ADs and stuff as well - but these days with people working from home, the virtual thing is a better bet).

I would suggest: a) Asking YOUR agent if there are things that their other illustrator clients do that you should also be doing, b) Joining the SCBWI and doing their illustration/portfolio showcase stuff (if that is of interest to you), and c) befriending other illustrators (perhaps, ones that get the kinds of opportunities you are looking to have?) and asking what THEY do, or just observing what they do. There may be other promo / networking opportunities / ways to get your work out there that they know that I don't!

A great “multi-part” day out yesterday. Part 1: The first non-virtual book event for me this year as Hwee Goh and I join fellow Marshall Cavendish creators at Times@Waterwaypoint to talk about our books. Hwee and I talked about our book “Invisible Enemies” - a book about the history of pandemics conceived at the start of the global crisis and then written, illustrated, published and released in the thick of the lockdown! Part 2 Got to catch up with friends... Melanie Lee... William Sim... Leila Boukarim... Barbara Moxham... Our great Marshall Cavendish team of Lydia Leong and Mindy Pang... Pt.3 Hwee and I revealed our new Invisible Enemies collaterals in the form of postcard and business cards sized bookmarks! Pt.4 Completely unexpected (and unrehearsed) A review of “Invisible Enemies” by Western Australia writer-scholar Nadia King appears 5 minutes before Hwee and I went Live on Facebook :) “Invisible Enemeis” is available from major bookstores and online platforms such as Goguru and Closetful of Books #marshallcavendish #marshallcavendishsg #marshallcavendishasia #hweezbooks #kidlit #kidlitsg #childrensbooks #childrensbookssg #childrensillustrationsart #pandemicbooks #bookspandemic #childrensbookssg https://www.instagram.com/p/CIKGao3HTCw/?igshid=1mln8y2xzl8bh

#MarchMeetTheMaker day 3: Flatlay My product at the moment is illustrations for children's books. Here are three of the four books that have been published already. In future I would like to venture into new areas, like offering character sets, postcards and teaching material, but also doing my own books. #MarchMeetTheMaker2019 by #joannehawker implemented by #jetzyey #selfemployed #entrepreneur #watercolour #watercolor #childrensillustrations #childrensbooks #kidslitart #kidlit #childrenspublishing #art #drawing #illustration #artwork #painting #artist #sketch #draw #creative https://www.instagram.com/p/Buj3fB_nrlj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uhden0d31128

Happy Monday & Happy MLK Day, friends! 💜 I'm looking for more ways to get active & effect positive change this year, in whatever small ways I can (& sometimes they do feel quite small, but every little bit of hope helps), for organizations, communities & charities that have do so much good despite the darkness. Today I'd like to shine a little light on @goldenheartbooks, an incredible organization that puts books into the hands of children who really need them.. . "Our books have been donated to local children’s hospitals and children who are struggling with various difficulties... As of now, we have delivered the magic of these books to children battling tough issues such as Autism, Cancer, Spina Bifida, Heart Conditions, Bullies, and children in foster care. It is our hope that these books can bring joy and happiness to the children they are matched with." . In support of Vanessa Mae & @goldenheartbooks, I created this little "Golden Beauty" illustration & am offering a 5x7 postcard print of the piece for purchase in my shop, with the proceeds (minus printing costs) going directly to GHB. . You can find listings for both standard shipping & upgraded shipping in my shop now (link in profile). Prints will be available for pre-order until Jan. 28 & should ship sometime in mid- February. . AND! As a special thank you, everyone who purchases a print will be entered into a special giveaway I'll be starting up soon. . Make a great day, everyone! ❤️💛💚💙💜 . (☕️ featuring my Fantasyland illustration can be found in my society6 shop-- society6.com/onegoldensun) . . . . #goldenheartbooks#goldenbooks#littlegoldenbooks#batb#beauty#belle#beautyandthebeast#illustration#fantasyland#beourguest#reading#kidlit#ogsdisneymugs

Day: 1281. Theme: “Off Theme” An update on the effectiveness of masking fluid aka, the best stuff on planet Earth. Some background work, maybe one or two more days of working on this and then back to themes. I *think* this may wind up making itself onto a postcard to send out. I’m feeling pretty good about this. . . . . . . . . . #kidlit #kidslit #kidlitart #watercolor #art #kidslitart #illustration #sketchdaily #childrenillustration #kidslitart #dailydraw #drawing #doodle #ink #kidsbook #scbwi #portfolioclub #circus #portfolio #club #goblin #elephant #wip #masking #characterdesign #illustragram (at Chester County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz5Kk-PD0cf/?igshid=1j34q1eggpdcd
