“An artist and an activist are not so far apart.”

I’m loving our WebinARTs over here at my agency Lilla Rogers Studio where, as you probably know, I interview our fascinating artists and we chat about their work and careers, most Thursdays.
As of this writing, I’ve done eight WebinARTS, and I’ve found that I enjoy them so much that we dreamed up “Live with Lilla”, where I’ll be interviewing artists, art directors, editors, and more, over at my school site, Make Art That Sells. I’m thrilled that my very first Live with Lilla interview starts today with someone I’m crazy about, the QUEEN, Vanessa Brantley-Newton, beloved and highly-regarded author-illustrator of over 40 children’s books and diversity expert. We’ll chat about increasing diversity in our industry, what agents and art directors can do, and more.

Here’s the fabulous Vanessa Brantley-Newton with her newest book of poems for little girls, “Just Like Me”(Knopf/Random House). Available here.

As you can imagine, from just looking at her work, Sarah stays incredibly busy with top brands like Blue Q, Chronicle Books, Crate & Barrel, Flow Magazine, Galison/Mudpuppy, Garnet Hill, Nosy Crow, Perseus, Quarto and the Guardian. Her work is that magical combination of accessible style with edge, brilliant color, and wit galore. I know we’re going to have fun together in this WebinART.

We are in support of inclusivity and a positive vision for the future.
Art makes a difference. Read Sarah Walsh’s words below.
Sarah created art to honor George Floyd. You can find her T-shirts on Etsy, with 100% of the proceeds donated to Black Lives Matter and the NAACP.
Sarah writes “I’m an artist. Pictures are my words. I make art to express my feelings. So that’s what I’ll do to spread awareness and raise money. I also wanted to put an image of George that more accurately reflected the beauty of his life and the people that may have known and loved him versus him on the ground with a knee in his neck during the last moments of life.”
