This morning I saw comments about the prevalence of this illo aesthetic I like to work in, and specifically how ppl have seen *my* work in a lot of diff contexts. I can't speak for all illustrators / the trend. But to the notes about my work specifically, I want to say —

First of all, I recognize that you may have seen my work around. That's great and I won't apologize for my success.

My entire career, I've been told by others — mostly older white men — what I should not draw. First it was "can you make this less feminine?" then "this is too cute and colorful" Now it's "we don't like it when you draw characters this way"https://twitter.com/byalicelee/status/1212068082077728768 …

This is what I like to draw, and I will continue to do so as it brings joy to both me + my clients. My intent is to bring color and whimsy to the spaces I touch, whether the

I like to work on a spectrum bt "literal" to "fantasy," and I get these comments when I do the former. Yea I love drawing fantastical cranes + koi fish but I also like drawing ppl working together + cute girls hanging at the park. If u don't like it, it's not for u and that's ok!

Further, I see tweets about "this one style of illustration devalues the art" — actually, policing people on what they can + cannot draw in such an unconstructive, reductive manner is the number one way to destroy creativity. And I won't see it happen for young artists out there.

I don't want young illustrators, especially female artists, to see precisely this unhelpfully unconstructive, 100% reductive reasoning and think it's okay. It's not. Draw what you want. If clients want to take your work and blow it up on a billboard, more power + respect to you.
