It was all the more infuriating that I went through all those steps just for them to auto deny me.

A LONG overdue “Meet the Artist” update. I added a flag + changed some recent preferences. I no longer hate eggs. 😂 🇲🇱🇸🇳⚜️🏰 #meettheartist #louisianacreole #neworleans #artist

Here's my take on the Dark Princess from @hallmark.bsky.social's Rainbow Brite series!

She officially first appears in the film, "Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer", and later in the final episode of the classic series, "The Queen of the Sprites".

This is a great redesign and I’m loving the energy in this new rendition. Between you and @angelbee.bsky.social drawing her, I may have to do one, too. Gotta keep this train going! 😂

Hopefully it’s wrong and we can just be opted out at some point. I’m really hoping someone just sues them blind so they stop this.

Why even put this here if they’re just gonna auto-reject you opting out. Silliness.

The funniest thing about this is that he also said Hispanic jobs were in jeopardy. Insanity has reached critical levels.

Of course. I should have known. It was foolish of me to question the obvious.

Just did this. It takes two minutes. Meta purposely tries to make it confusing and time-consuming, but with the linked step-by-step, it's very easy. You've got until midnight, gang.

Yeah I was really just curious! The term seems a little hard to define, since there’s so many takes on it. I’ll probably stick to calling myself graphic designer/illustrator, but graphic artist may still be a good descriptor.

New Orleanians have a tendency to replace the “oi” sound with “r”, and the “oy” sound with “oi”. I would like to know why we do this. Linguistically speaking. Is this a Kouri-Vini leftover?

I’ve heard of graphic art and illustration being synonymous in some instances, so I really wasn’t sure. But I think I agree, I feel illustrator suits me best.

Yeah I’ve seen that! Just was giving my two cents since someone asked about it! Language and dialect are just fun for me. My dialect came directly from Kouri-Vini, which is French/West African based. We have a lot of different types of pronunciations here in Louisiana as a result.

Funnily enough, this thread gave me an epiphany on why we pronounce pecan as puh-cahn here in Louisiana. Kouri-Vini never really left us at all. ❤️

As a New Orleanian, I’ve always said puh-cahn. Never really pronounced the “t” since it’s a French word.

Question: Based on my works, would you consider me to be a graphic artist? I’ve looked up the meaning of just to get an idea of what falls under the umbrella, but it seems to have several definitions. I’ve always said “graphic designer/illustrator”. Does graphic art apply here?

This really hit me when I remembered one of the local food truck owners around here telling me he heard New Orleans and Chicago were really similar. I wonder if this also explains why people keep mistaking me for a Chicagoan 😂😂

My mom was talking about candy before church today. She told me how back in the day, they used to call Jolly Ranchers “wine candy”. I got curious as to why it was called that. I searched and ended up learning they say it in Chicago, too! I had to find the connection. It all makes sense, now.

OMG thank you!! This was a life saver. Although I may have to go back and redraw some of my line art anyway 😂😂

Artists: are there ways to adjust your pressuré sensitivity in Clip Studio? Photoshop seems to default to it being more like pencil and paper. In Clip Studio, all my line work comes out more “aggressive”. Looking for a way to tone it down without having to change the opacity.

Really loved them. And Addis NOLA. I also recommend Fritai (the Haitian place on Basin) if you haven’t been already.

You also really have a knack for making your digital art look very textured and organic. Love both of these sets!

One of my biggest non book projects came from me tagging Comcast in a piece of art I drew that was inspired by a commercial they shared. I really just wanted people to see where the ad came from. Then they emailed me about an opportunity.

Usually it’s been through people finding me via social media. Sometimes it’s been Twitter. Sometimes it’s been Instagram. They run into my page, and then somewhere down the line, they email me with projects. I’ve also gotten non-book related opportunities by tagging companies in illustrations.
