It’s been a really warm Autumn here, but I’m looking forward to it finally cooling off so I can wear all my cozy layers again. Until then, I’ll just draw foxes in some of my favorite outfits!

Two little paintings from the other day — I haven’t had a chance to scan them because I broke my foot on Friday and have been in a horizontal position pretty much ever since, but soon!

This post 100% encapsulates my experience as a professional illustrator. For the past three years, I’ve made $12k/yr on my art. That is less than minimum wage. I’m sick of me demanding minimum wage being met with surprise. I’m not doing it anymore. Period. twitter.com/nadinetakvoria…

What’s this? A little crop from a fun product that’s going to be released soon! Any guesses what it might be? Hint: it’s not a storybook, but might help you write a storybook of your own! ✨
