Thought I’d share some details of the texture and color that I love painting so much on these landscape illustrations. I feel like these things get a little lost on such a small Instagram image. These details are from my New Mexico Travel West poster. . . . . . . . . . #femaleillustration #icandraw #artguide_illustration #weareillustration #illustration_society #illustragram #contemporaryillustration #girlsmakingmagic #alltheseillustrations #illustratenow #heytheremaker #theillustrationroom #ihavethisthingwithcolor #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #lifeofanillustrator #illustratorlifestyle #illustratorlife #newmexicotravel #quarantineartclub #shiprocknewmexico #theillustrationroom #weloveillustration #illustree (at Shiprock Historical Marker) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRrUgNiFyQB/?utm_medium=tumblr

I still remember visiting Ellis Island on an elementary school field trip, and how it made me feel. Learning about how Lady Liberty was a sign for so many families that they were entering a safe place, I was so happy that we lived in a kind country. #resist #nowallnoban #ladyliberty #womenwhodraw #nofearnohate #inclusion #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #knowledgeispower

Fun Fact: "A puffin can hold a dozen or more fish in their beak at once (the record is 62 tiny fish)..." 

I had a lot of fun illustrating these guys for @illustratedimpact's interview with @audubonsociety. Learn more about puffins, #ProjectPuffin, and how puffin restoration has helped seabird restoration worldwide at

I dug up this old lettering project from 5 years ago today. It was in collaboration with @avondaletypeco and representing the typeface “Rosemary ATC.” Most of it was painted traditionally in gouache with some Photoshop clean up. I honestly don’t think I could have this much control with gouache today! . . . . . . . . . . #handlettered #handlettering #togetherweletter #letteringlove #handtype #letteringdaily #showusyourtype #goodtype #goodtypetuesday #strengthinletters #typematters #letteringlove #avondaletypeco #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #lifeofanillustrator #illustratorlifestyle #illustratorlife (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMujHlbFvA8/?igshid=1qc28esjsnchi

There’s been a lot of talk about unity lately, prompted by Biden’s inauguration speech. I believe in unity, in the sense that people should come together for civil debate and working together, even when they may not agree about specific policies. I don’t think everyone has to have a carbon-copy opinion of one another to function as a nation. . All of that said though, there are certain human rights issues that I don’t see as “debatable.” The value of someone’s life and equality isn’t a policy debate, so don’t get twisted. The hate from the far right isn’t something that can be compromised with. But the rest of us can unify to get things back on course for real progress and change. Those of us who are particularly progressive (🙋‍♀️) have a lot of work to do now, to convince others of our values and perspectives. (Marginalized groups who are completely exhausted do not have this obligation though. I’m mostly speaking to white cis people.) We have to work hard to find a respectable way to do this, through logic, teaching compassion, leadership, dedication, perseverance, and encouraging unity. Not the kind that encourages people to shut up and fit in—“now isn’t your time, be patient” (that’s uniformity) but rather the kind where learning is possible. . Throughout history, things that are radically progressive have eventually become the norm, which makes me confident that I’m doing the right thing. There always has to be the folks fighting on the furthest end of the liberal tug-of-war rope, and they’re always going to be seen as “idealistic, unrealistic, over-the-top.” But slowly, they get used to our ideas. The public starts accepting these changes. Time to get to work, friends. 💪 . . . . . . . . . . #handlettered #handlettering #togetherweletter #letteringlove #handtype #letteringdaily #showusyourtype #goodtype #goodtypetuesday #strengthinletters #typematters #letteringlove #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #lifeofanillustrator #illustratorlifestyle #illustratorlife #unitynotuniformity #unityindiversity #quarantineartclub #theillustrationroom #weloveillustration #illustree (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKop3FPlBd5/?igshid=1k74mpm9b47m2

Yay, lettering! I was nervous about being able to pull this one off for @squarecarousel but am actually pretty happy with how it turned out. And don’t you wish you could pick up an issue of Lifebook Magazine now? . . . . . . . . . #handlettered #handlettering #togetherweletter #letteringlove #handtype #letteringdaily #showusyourtype #goodtype #goodtypetuesday #strengthinletters #typematters #letteringlove #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #lifeofanillustrator #illustratorlifestyle #illustratorlife #quarantineartclub (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMU5OV7ldHB/?igshid=vwdrv9ssj58r

Sharing another book cover redesign today. This was one of the first books that got me into contemporary fiction and although I do like the cover design (a photo of pastels— check out my stories to see), I felt like it could be fun with an illustrated cover as well. Depicted here is one of the main characters, who is a troubled artist. . Have you read “Hunting and Gathering” before? . . . . . . . . . . #bookcoverdesign #bookredesign #bookcoverredesign #huntingandgathering #annagavalda #judgeabookbyitscover #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #lifeofanillustrator #illustratorlifestyle #illustratorlife #womenwithpencils #visiblewomen #womenartists #womenwhodraw #femaleillustrator #austinartist #supportlivingartists #femaleillustration #artguide_illustration #weareillustration #illustration_society #illustragram #contemporaryillustration #illustratenow #theillustrationroom (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEW-We4lSLG/?igshid=17qca0jdx5ksw
