I had recently the honour to be interviewed by @polinagortman about building a portfolio. She’s a fantastically talented illustrator, and she interviewed other wonderful people in the industry. If you haven’t already go check her profile and her blog (she also has this watercolour brush pack for procreate that looks so natural). It was fun to connect with her, and to find out we’re both Siberian women! I was also very happy about the whole affair because she and my late Baba share the same name. https://gortmanillustration.com/blog/2023/5/10/tips-on-building-an-eye-catching-portfolio-for-childrens-book-illustrators Christina Wald @christinawald_art Faith Pray @faith.pray Sheryl Murray @sheryl_murray_illustration Leanne Hatch @leannehatch_illustration NaShantá Fletcher @nashsketches Ani Bushry anibushry Lynnor Bontigao @lbontigao Rahele Jomepour Bell rahele_studio #kidlitart #kidlitwomen #picturebookportfolio #scbwiillustrators #portfoliotips #womenwhodraw

I spy with my little eye... Thank you @mia.montessori for sending this picture! The wait is almost over! You can get your copy of Jungle Cat tomorrow! Written by @_andrewlarsen and published by @orcabook If I may say so, it's a great read! The story is very cute and fun, and I went out of my way to keep both kids and parents entertained with the illustrations! #ireadcanadian #weneeddiversebooks #junglecat #picturebookillustration #kidlitart
And in line (but unintended) with Asian Heritage Month, I got a surprise package! This is the Korean version of The Window (Grandpa's Window). I love the use of an interior spread for the cover. Thank you @bonnierbooks_uk ! The Window was written

I received my copies of Jungle Cat!!! Thank you @orcabook ! This cute story was SO MUCH FUN to illustrate! On a side note, it’s one of my life goals being like Pearl. Another curious thing, I just found out that both @_andrewlarsen and I are allergic to cats! #unboxing #picturebook #picturebookillustration #kidlitart #JungleCat #ireadcanadian #weeneeddiversebooks

When I was little many Sundays were family days. We would gather at my grandparents’ house or have a picnic in the mountains. I loved it. Do you have Sunday dinner with your family? My husband and I and our children are immigrants, so our families are far away. What about you? This scene is from City Beet, a book about community. When you don’t have family close by, you have to make your own. #weneeddiversebooks #ireadcanadian #family #sundaydinner #picturebookillustration #kidlitart #kidlitillustration @sleepingbearpress

Happy to share this ARC (advance reading copy) of Jungle Cat with you. Thank you @orcabook ! I just hope the months before publication day go quickly.
