Hey there! Im from Austin/dripping springs. I know a couple of people from Waco who participate in the Austin SCBWI chapter. Are you an SCBWI member?

@TwiggyT Thanks! I'm very familier with Maryland. I went to college at Salisbury U and my parents live in Cecil County.

Welcome Blayne. This lovey lion illustration is so beautiful. I feel like I could step right into the room! The lighting is fantastic. Great work! 👏👏👏

@TessaW appreciate the warm welcome! Thanks and hope to see more of your work too.

Welcome from another Swede 😁 and greetings from Skåne! Hope you'll like it here and all of the classes 🤗

Welcome! I really like your art! looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks everyone for welcoming me. I was going to respond to everyone individually, but I notice that the newest messages end up at the bottom, so it looks like I'm talking to myself.

Welcome Aaron, sounds like you already know a little about freelance so that's a headstart 🙂

Welcome! It is odd, I just discovered today the youtube channel of Mark Crilley who was an English teacher in Japan before building a carreer in illustration. I learnt a lot from his first children book project written and illustrated during his time in Japan : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWWZ_Ga7A6k
I hope you'll become as successful as him! Welcome and good luck to you!
