Happy Friday! I made a book cover with my animal and children icons (from the other day). I think it has a slight whimsical feel! The design shows fantastic ways in which young children can play 🥎⛷️🎨 #kidlitartist #illustrator #childrensbooks #picturebookillustrator #boardbookillustrator

Artists be aware. Print Cool . store are stealing artwork and selling it on printed t-shirts. Buyers please think before buying from them, as you will be encouraging theft of artists' hard work and damaging their livelihoods #illustrators #designers #illustratorsoninstagram #t-shirts #tshirts #tees

Oh, this makes me happy! The imagination of kids knows no bounds. We growed ups can learn a lot from kids.

I came across this cover image and it reminded me of the excitement I used to feel when buying a new novel. I love the cyberpunk genre and this was my entry point. What science fiction subgenres do you enjoy the most? #scifi #literature #cyberpunk

Neuromancer first edition book cover (from Wikipedia article)
