#2: Is this you? (The activist ready to make a difference)

Lilla here. Over the next few days I’m sharing some imaginary creatives who I dreamed up who I can imagine working with in my new small group mentoring intensive, Inner Circle. Of course, this isn’t an exhaustive list – I can’t wait to see the quirks and magic you bring to the table and how we can work together to transform your career into something amazing. But I hope that this will give you some ideas of how this incredible opportunity can help you. (You can read about my first imaginary artist, the illustrator who just needs a little boost, on the blog here.) #2 The fired up activist who’s ready to make a difference You’ve joined Inner Circle because you want to create art with a political point of view. You want your work to convey peace and compassion. I love this idea. Art has power. We look at mid-century

#1: Is this you? (The illustrator who just needs a little boost)

Lilla here. I’m so incredibly excited about my latest project—Inner Circle small group mentoring. It’s a chance for me to do what I love most: closely mentor a small group of artists and help them reach the next level. So many artists crave individual guidance, and with my decades of experience as an agent and teacher, I know exactly how to help people make their work more true to themselves, more gorgeous, and more lucrative. That’s what lights me up. This morning, as I sipped my espresso, this happened: a number of imaginary artists came to mind—six examples of the kinds of creatives I envision in my mentoring intensive—along with case studies describing how I would guide each of them to reach their full magical potential. I wanted to share them with you one by one – so here goes. Is this you? #1 The illustrator who needs a guide

What getting mentored by Lilla really looks like

What does getting mentored by Lilla really look like? And what can it do for you and your creative career? In a recent live Zoom event, illustrator and Make Art That Sells teacher Tamisha Anthony opened up about the transformative effect that getting mentored by Lilla had on her own career. Tamisha talked about how she’d always been around books but hadn’t really taken any steps towards making illustration into a career. Lilla looked at Tamisha’s art and made small tweaks, like suggesting that Tamisha include more of her own self, her love for fashion and design and home décor, in her art. Even such a tiny change had a huge effect, and since then Tamisha’s career has exploded! Since being mentored by Lilla, she’s got [seven] picture book deals, with another [four] on the way, and landed her first author-illustrator publishing deal. She’s taught two incredible Make Art That
