Hi #portfolioday!
I'm Sayada, an illustrator who loves drawing food, fun characters, animals & more.
Itching to do another PB, and would love to branch out to other areas of publishing, packaging or advertising illustration too!

photo of my hand holding up a copy of Julie and the Mango Tree, a hardcover picture book written by Sadé Smith and illustrated by me, with a leafy bush in the background. repeating patten featuring 26 different animals drawn in black and white, one for each letter of the alphabet digital illustration of a tabletop with four dishes on it, from a recipe book i illustrated titled Beef It Up! One is stuffed bell peppers, one is shredded meat with vegetables, one is beef and broccoli on rice, and the one in the foreground is salisbury steak on mashed potatoes topped with a mushroom gravy digital illustration of a teen girl with brown skin and brown curly hair, blowing a bubble with chewing gum and throwing out a peace sign. she's wearing green jeans shorts and a yellow tshirt with a pink smily face on the back, and green and pink sneakers. In the background is some abstract colourful shapes radiating from the bottom left corner against a pale green flat backdrop.

Tbh, same thing I do now but without the pressure to take on jobs that are lower paid/worse terms. Depending on how much the ubi was, I'd get takeout way more often, buy non-essentials more often, and do hobbies without guilt about not working on illustration instead. Draw however & whenever I want.

Food pics

It was just me and the spouse for thanksgiving, so we didn't make that many different things, but it was all very good! I made the sausage rolls with the second half of the puff pastry I made a while back and froze. They turned out as good as I could ask for!
Bonus pic: cosy Cardamom ☺️
a plate of food: 3 chicken + impossible burger sausage rolls, roasted green beans, carrots, parsnips, potato and brussels sprouts, gravy in a ramekin, and a massaged kale, quinoa and walnut salad photo of the sausage rolls! They have sesame and nigella seeds on top. cute cat tucked in between 2 duvets

Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome:

- Right-click
- Unpin

Gone!

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

listen at best you're training the wildlife to be aggressive towards humans because they're looking for food from people which is NOT what you want for anybody's sake, human or otherwise. DO NOT EVER FEED WILD ANIMALS I don't care how cute it feels it is actually harming them and potentially others

Modern Phoenix
A digital painting of a huge, starry, blue phoenix emerging from a glowing lake in a distant city. A group of teens with a dog watch the night-time scene from ruins on a hillside. The phoenix is sparkling with blue stars in front of a cloudy, dark gray sky. The city below glows gold.

I know we all have a lot of other things to worry about right now but this is your PSA to get the latest covid booster & flu shot if you haven't already. It takes a couple weeks to build immunity and holidays will be here soon. (Stickers from my shop! shop.breelundberg.com/product/get-...)
