Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I’m Angela, an illustrator and surface pattern designer with over 10 years of experience in making sweet and playful art for children’s publishing, fabrics, stationery and home decor. I have created a variety of illustrations for children ranging from magazines, baby board books, picture books, educational books and activity books for publishers such as Usborne, Little Hippo, Igloo books and more. I have also designed prints and patterns for a range of different products, including fabric, children’s products and stationery which I have licensed to companies such as Apricot House and Illustrabimbi or sell through my Spoonflower and RedBubble shops. I love to create artworks that make people smile and add a hint of cuteness and quirkiness in their everyday life. My style is jovial and narrative: I like my illustrations and patterns to tell stories with funny characters showing their personality in a joyful and, vibrant context. I’m available for new projects and looking for representation. I’d love to work on picture books, puzzles, and toys with you! . . . #kidlitpostcard2022 #kidlitpublishing #kidlirpostcard #artistportfolio #childrenpublishing #childrensillustrator #childrenspicturebookillustration #picturebookillustration #picturebookart #picturebookartist #picturebookportfolio #angelasbandelliillustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/CkgGw_UKJwI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I pulled it together, completely rewrote my manuscript and then have been #sketching away for days now to get my first full size dummy done for #samakingdummies class @storyteller_academy It is so cool to see my story big and complete with words and all. I learned a lot in the process. Quite a few of my thumbnails changed as I had to consider word placement. I printed everything at the same font size this go around, but saw places where I can change it. I’m gonna go through with post-it’s and mark the places I want to make changes. I also need to practice a few of my characters. For now though, I’m gonna start my reward for getting it done #strangerthings4 here I come #makingadummy #sketch #igotitdone #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustration #illustragram #illustrating #writer #writing #childrenspicturebookillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUHGfbLy1K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 7/100 #the100dayproject I got to play with my #collagepapers today and add another monster to this page. I’m actually exploring monsters now for my homework assignment. I’m actually thinking about sculpting one of these to use as a reference for the sketches I have to do. I’m not really a sculptor, but I’m going to give it a try for the fun of it. #collage #collageart #collageartist #collagemonsters #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #collageillustration #collageartwork #illustrating #illustration #illustrationartists #gettingintouchwithmyinnerchild #creativeplay #playtolearnlearntoplay #childrenspicturebookillustration #kidlit #picturebookillustration #illustrationcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CaKp40irDPi/?utm_medium=tumblr
