Reschasketch (Dustin Resch, illustrator/author)

This is a weird time to have good news, but I have good news! This story has been 7 years in the making, and it's finally going to make its way out into the world as a real live children's picture book! It should hit the shelves in Spring 2026, and be available everywhere!

@NateCosby Hi Nate, I'm interested in all kinds of work. Portfolio available at reschasketch.com - Thanks!

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm a kid lit (children's book) illustrator and author, agented by Fuse Literary and shopping my books around for a publisher. Here are some of my pieces, for a glimpse at what I do :) reschasketch.com for more portfolio. Cheers!

It’s important to me to focus on the belief and hope that we can make the world better instead of worse. But I also want to remember to appreciate the good that is already here, and that is what inspired this piece. Happy Monday, hang in there everyone! #kidlitart @EastWestLit

Happy holidays everyone! #snowdolphins

Finally calling this all finished. An #octopus #oilpainting based on a still from my first ever night dive in 2017 in Cozumel. @TheOctoNation @CuddlefishGang #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #ampainting

This book is OUTSTANDING, I can't recommend it enough. The art is incredible.

@BrianLaRossa Fascinating dive into the subject. It makes good sense that consistency in typography can help neutralize the confusion brought about by the logical inconsistency in the way English is spelled/written.
