Hello all, my name is Ryan and I'm new to the forum. I joined hoping to meet other artists. You can find me here, or at my instagram @ryandouglass80.

I have my own website (ryandouglassart.com) but I’m looking for alternative ways to showcase my work

In particular I would like to compartmentalize my work based on subject - for instance the stuff I do for my children’s books can go together and comic material can be in a separate group

That way publishers aren’t looking at material that wouldn’t necessarily be appropriate for a children’s book

Is a website the only way to achieve this?

Any Ideas would be appreciated

Hello all
I am losing interest in Instagram - there just appear to be too many issues with the algorithm
And Facebook taking over the app.

Does anybody know of an app that is more artist from focused - it’s great to get interest from the general public - but I was hoping maybe there is another platform that caters to the artistic community

Any thoughts?

Hello Judy, I was wondering what you meant by a color spread?

Does anybody have any experience posting book dummies on SCBWI?
I’m not sure you can even do that, but thought I would ask

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson thank you so much for your help

Hello all

I have spent the last few months creating a book dummy. I was wondering if anybody had a advice on the submission process?

Does anybody have any information on children’s books groups or community’s-online or otherwise that provides illustrators with exposure to art directors, book publishers etc.?

Thanks for any info anyone can provide

I’ve been using web.com to create a website, but the format is so basic, I have no ability to divide illustrations by subject

Does anybody know a better format ?

This is all very helpful, thanks guys

Thanks that’s really helpful

Good thought
