The Cuteness! Made a video with Brightly where I read a part of my new book! They animated the caterpillars to wiggle! I left you on quite a cliffhanger so be sure to grab a copy of my book What's Inside a Caterpillar Cocoon to see what happens next!https://rachelignotofskydesign.com/caterpillar-cocoon

So happy to see how excited you all are about my visit to the @fieldmuseum to see our collab!

Visited the @fieldmuseum in Chicago and got to see our product collab in person. This launched right as the pandemic started and it is amazing to finally see it in person. So of course I ran around the museum and posed where all the different display cases are. not shown- one was right across from a full dino skeleton of a titanosaur at the which blew my mind! 🦕 They turned my doodles into magnets and key chains and there are water bottles and scarves and t shirts with my art and end paper patterns all over them! Super cool work by the @penguinrandomhouse merch team! You can check it all out for yourself on @fieldmuseum gift shop! 🔬❤️ (at Field Museum of Natural History) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqLXGTOLc8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spot illu I drew showing the first ever banner ad made by @wired 💾 pretty cool! In my book The History of the Computer I wanted to explain to kids how many web companies made $ so they can better understand the free services they use online and why selling ad space and data collection is the way it is today. #wiredmagazine #computerscience #computerhistory #90snostalgia https://www.instagram.com/p/CfrqnAOPiOA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feeling hit by a train with all of the SCOTUS news. Overturning of 100 year old gun regulations that kept cities safe, gutting the EPA during the climate crisis, overturning roe v wade. Set backs that takes us back to the 1950s—or worst the 19th century. If you are feeling scared I am here with you. At the same time I lean on stories from history, of people who have lived through worst times and still made an impact for good. Here is a Marie Curie quote that I personally love that gives me hope. Hang in there everyone! ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfb8_jIp4QR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What better way to talk about computers as creative tools than talking about the invention of MIDI!

Alan Turing is considered one of the greatest minds ever for his pioneering work in theoretical computer science and AI. His life was cut short when the UK government persecuted him for being gay. He is remembered for being a war hero and a genius. ⚙️ Spot illustration from my book The History of the Computer (link in bio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CePFqY2vgQn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted this same image 5 years ago. I’m so sick of this. From Sandy Hook to Buffalo to today in Texas and the thousands of shootings that happen each year that get no press. It makes me sick— we need to fix our gun laws! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd9OyZyviUh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
