Welcome to my journey.

Would this make a good illustration for a Children’s picture book?

Currently writing and illustrating my first picture book. Everyone says I’d be really good at this but I’ve never done it before so I’m just stumbling my way into it. It’s a different way of working, worrying about feedback from editors, how I’m going to get it published and accepting that it could just be a big financial flop.

It’s the journey, not the destination. I’m learning a lot. Just got into paint markers, I never got into them cause I figured they’d be costly and I never believed my art was worth it but I’m 40 now and I’m turning a new page in how I view things. I am worth it! Also I just discovered you can actually refill them yourself saving me so much time and money. I didn’t realize how much I held myself back.

Anyway I love how convenient they are, and they are odourless, so I can use them around my toddlers, and now I can get them in any colour of the rainbow now that I’ve discovered you can actually mix your own paint and put them into the pen. They pack up easily and quickly! Very little cleanup involved. I would happily accept a sponsorship from POSCA

If you know a publisher or agent who might be interested, or maybe you want to order an advanced copy yourself, drop me an email lisangart@hotmail.com
