Happiest birthday to me yesterday ✨ @moni_vogelsang and I took Winnie on a long walk to find a newsstand (why are there so few now? should I open one? newest fixation.) to see this illustration in print in @nytimes Science section. Endless thanks to AD Rodrigo who unknowingly gave me the best bday present, and for being an awesome collaborator over the years. 😌

Color version and process to be shared tomorrow, go check it out in the Times! by @annelisecapossela

📱⤴️👀 Demo reel of some of my all-time fav motion projects 🤗 it was fun to look back and put everything together over the weekend. Thank you to all the creative people who collaborated on these over the years, I’m really grateful to make cool things with amazing people✨🙏💛 by @annelisecapossela

My last illustration for July’s Wordle Review is out! ➡️Swipe to see all five. 🥲 Park dance nights are one of my absolute favorite things to stumble upon and maybe one day I can be like these two. Also do we need these pants?

😭 I’m a little emotional because I put so much of my heart and energy into these illustrations and really loved the entire process sketching, planning, painting and editing — and collaborating with @kathywhee who is truly a wonderful AD. ⭐️ Thanks everyone for tuning in, let’s go paint or dance. 💃🏼

Breaking my posting hiatus with this portrait of me and Winnie in Central Park. 🐎 It was so lovely working with Kathy Lee on this quick story illustration for @nytgames 😭🙏 this also got me playing Crossplay with my mom @cynthia.capossela who is impossible to beat as she is both very smart and has seemingly memorized every two letter word combo. I will continue to accept her challenges for this letter-based duel, and will continue to lose and enjoy it. An important aside, if you see me in the park with my horse 🐶, feel free to say hi. She can’t spell but she likes to be told that she’s pretty. by @annelisecapossela

New illustration for an @npr story about workforce pell grants. A fun quick turnaround. Thank you to @neoncatdc for the impeccable direction and for the chance to work together! by @annelisecapossela

🎨 @hey.lalocal and @laistofficial worked together on a sobering story about gun deaths disproportionately affecting people in unhoused communities in LA, including by assailants from outside the communities. Having the chance to collaborate with the team at The LA Local on this story’s visual was incredibly meaningful to me, and I appreciate the work of their entire team (thank you to Raisa and Steve!) If you don’t already, I recommend giving this fantastic nonprofit newsroom a follow. 📲Swipe to see sketches and close-ups. by @annelisecapossela

For an NPR story 🚛 about people in the US moving to states that align with their political values. This was a super fun, quick assignment! I don’t often use a blue/red color scheme (for the obvious reason it reads political) so this made for a fun challenge. Thank you Danielle @scruggsworks for the chance to work together. :) 🙏 by @annelisecapossela

Yay! I really really appreciate the recognition @american_illustration_winners. Thanks to the jury, and especially sending thanks to AD @mharishaw who provided such great guidance on this project. It’s always thrilling when hard work and good collaborations are recognized. On the flip side, I know so much amazing work likely did not get the chance to be awarded this year. For everyone still making work they love day-in and day-out, that’s the ultimate win I think. 💛✨ #illustration by @annelisecapossela

🥬 Little spot made a few months back for Food Fanatics Magazine. The story was about encouraging restaurant owners to use digital tools. So so fun to work with @katiekalupson!! Thank you for your amazing direction!! 🙏✨🍅🥬 by @annelisecapossela

🤗 Cover and interior spread for SIPA Magazine, for story Teaching Civil Discourse In Polarized Times. This was a really exciting challenge, with all involved emphasizing capturing the right tone and message. Thank you Amy at TwobySixteen for trust, opportunity and collaboration! 🙏✨☺️ by @annelisecapossela

🥦🙂‍↕️I had a lot if fun on this illustration. It was a nice momentary relief to obsess over the shapes and textures in broccolini and pieces of tofu. For @yahoolife 🙏 Thank you as always to David and Zana! by @annelisecapossela

🌟playing a little catch up, this illustration for @npr was the last of my 2025 projects. The story covers the changes to student loans, highlighting the added complication for borrowers. In my own life, I’m so grateful I get to be a teacher to illustration students. Attaining an art degree takes a ton of grit, skill, and optimism. We need as much of that as we can get. 🙏 Thank you to LA as always for the collaboration. 💛 by @annelisecapossela
