I currently work fairly comfortably part-time at my local Publix, but am seeking a career in the children's book industry as an illustrator. I prefer to work in colorful cartoonish or comic styles rather than realistic, but every now and then I'll poke my toe into unfamiliar waters to try something new that may interest me at any given time.
