One of my favorite things is sharing my love of our newest artists with you on Zoom, where I gush over their art and get to know them better.
We’re excited to invite you to join us for the next in our series of WebinARTs with our artist Erin Vanessa, whose dreamy, translucent, lush watercolors captivate us. After taking a number of my classes and developing her children’s book illustration work, I knew she was ready for representation.

News flash! Our Toy Residency 2021
Are you an art director in the toy/game market? Want to see what our artists will do during our weeklong LRS-artists only Residency happening the week of March 15th? Our artists will be making absolutely genius toy and game pitches based on my brand-new Make Art That Sells course, My Toy Pitch, that I’m co-teaching with our brilliant toy, game and children’s entertainment agent, Riley Wilkinson. The My Toy Pitch course goes live in July, so my artists will be getting a jump on the course material early, creating what I know will be some extraordinary toy and game pitches for this hot market that’s looking for innovative ideas illustrated beautifully. — Contact us to view the live showing of the artists’ work in progress on Zoom during the Residency (and give feedback if you like), or view the final work afterwards. –Want to be a guest VIP for the course? We would absolutely love to have you join us! Contact us!

Join me as I chat with five of my stellar artists when we take a break from the week-long virtual Residency to chat with you TODAY at 12:30 PM ET. I’ll ask them about their working process, how they magically dreamed up their ideas for their children’s picture book pitches, the hardest part and easiest part of making their pitch, PLUS they’ll possibly show a sneak peek of what they’re working on. It’s not to be missed!

Art directors and editors tell us that they’re looking for author/illustrator book pitches (probs because artists are so cool and imaginative), so we dreamed up our latest caper–our Residency–which is an incredible incubator for five of my artists to work on their authored/illustrated picture book pitches.
I’m in the midst of working with them this entire week while they dive into my latest course (ahead of the public launch) called My Kid Book Pitch that I’ll be offering in October. My six artists will have brilliant and highly original pitches–including texts and sample spreads–finished by the end of the week or shortly thereafter.
Art Directors and Editors: Contact us or simply reply to this email to get your hands on what I promise will be pitches that will shine.
You don’t want to miss this. Can’t watch it live? We’ll send you the link for the replay next week in our newsletter or look for it on the Lilla Rogers home page this Friday.

Join us this THURSDAY at 12.30 PM ET for our WebinART #3: The Residency
We have a very special (free) WebinART for you this Thursday. Six of my artists and I will have spent the week at our virtual Residency creating their children’s book pitches. We’ll chat live about what they’re working on and maybe they’ll even share a sneak peek.
What is our virtual Artists’ Residency?
Art directors and editors tell us that they’re looking for author/illustrator book pitches (probs because artists are so cool and imaginative), so we dreamed up our latest caper–our Residency–which is an incredible incubator for five of my artists to work on their authored/illustrated picture book pitches.
I get to mentor them daily for six days while they dive into my latest course ahead of the public launch called My Kid Book Pitch that I’ll be offering in October. How cool is that? We had originally planned to have the event at my home and garden, but we’ve Covid-ized it and now it’s virtual–6 days of Zooms with the gang. It’s my idea of an agent/educator dream. All this talent for a week!
What kind of stories will they write and illustrate?
Creating a special picture book comes from understanding what makes the author unique and then discovering the story they are excited to tell. They will share some of the goodness that they’re working on, their process, and other surprises.
The extraordinary artists in attendance for this Thursday’s Webinart are:

I hope you’ll join us for this free special event.
