Okey Dokey...I have been thinking long and hard about this social media game. Decided a while ago to stop sharing my Art with AI on IG AND to share my art and the insights of my creative life in a newsletter, so many people advised me to do so...so here it is!

I share this every 9/11 — not only because it marks one of the largest marine evacuations in history, but because it’s a powerful reminder of how everyday New Yorkers stepped up without hesitation to help one another.

Hey illustrators! Did you know there's a contact form on my website just for you? When beginning new projects I routinely check the spreadsheet for new submissions and search/sort my notes on previous submissions.

💙❤️ #kidlit #kidlitart #illustrator #artsearch #art #artist
Screenshot: Hello! My name is Brian LaRossa, I’m executive art director in Scholastic’s hardcover picture book group, where I’ve worked for 20 years. I oversee our Branches and Acorn imprints which are beginning graphic readers and illustrated chapter books, I also oversee our younger nonfiction series, and a good number of stand alone fiction and nonfiction picture books for our Orchard imprint. If you're an illustrator who is interested in working together I would love to hear from you! I've created this form to help me capture a record of your interest. Please note that this form is not time-sensitive. I keep it live year-round. When beginning new projects I routinely check the spreadsheet for new submissions and search/sort my notes on previous submissions. In addition, I also regularly post open calls, exclusively on Bluesky. I invite you to follow me there and submit your work! If your work is a good fit for an upcoming title I will reach out at that time. Until then, take care!

Recent #bookcover design I created for Jessica Carrasquillo’s romance thriller novel, “The Manchineel.”

Book mockup. Book is laid out flat so that front, spine, and back are showing. Book cover features the silhouette of two people salsa dancing, underneath a tree that forms into a skull. Palm trees and the Hollywood hill sign is in the background. Front cover book mockup. Book cover features the silhouette of two people salsa dancing, underneath a tree that forms into a skull.
