Holly Anderson 🍇@hollyanderson.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe knew Turfman's was going to be a huge project even before it spiraled to twice the length we'd initially planned, and I knew we were going to need an unbeatable goalie to make it happen. Enter @cwolper.bsky.social, who simply does not miss. So, so happy to get to work with her again. 🎯
All the illustrations in Turfman's College Foot-Ball Almanac were done by Priscilla Hernandez, a Chicana illustrator from LA. Follow her on instagram because the rest of her work is also incredible www.instagram.com/sleepyangeli...
