Italian cover of The Perfect Pet! A children's book about all the wonderful pets one can own in this world. I had a lot of fun drawing all the different cat and dog breeds. This is also the first book where I also did the lettering on the cover, I hope I did ok.

Italian cover of The Perfect Pet! A children's book I illustrated for White Star published February 2026. Written by Altea Villa and art directed by Giada Francia. This is the first non-fiction book I've ever done and am so excited to see it finally published.

Looking for advice: a friend was hired to illustrate a vanity press book. Client wants some of the original art - can my friend charge? What are the rules?
Thanks!

This illustration shows a white dog with dark spots happily digging a hole to stash his beloved tennis ball. In the distance, his ownerโ€”a young lady in a blue dotted cardiganโ€”is calling him to come home. Theyโ€™re in a beautiful field filled with pink flowers, lush green grass, and surrounded by tall, gentle trees.

A digital illustration of people spending time in a pool: A man with sunglasses is happily lounging by the pool chairs. Next to him is a lady in a yellow coordinate and a big hat sitting up observing the children by the pool. A girl in a pink swimsuit is sitting at the edge of the pool and cheering on her brown dog who's swimming to her from the other side of the pool. A boy in the pool is shielding himself as a girl who appears to be his sister is splashing water to him. Another boy is in a pink floatie observing the siblings.

Stylized portrait of the singer and Queen of Funk, Betty Davis. She is smiling and looking at us, holding a wired mic, dressed in a purple flower shirt, with an orange zebra-patterned scarf around her neck, and big gold hoop earrings.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day!

This month's postcard is inspired by the artists of ancient history. Besides art, history was my favorite subject in school. I was alway fascinated by how much art can tell us about history.
