Happy New Year! I’m welcoming in the new year with this very cool bear. His only downfall is Pizza.🍕😎 Get in touch if you need someone to bring humor, heart, and whimsy to a project. Portfolio kirstenmcgonigal.com rep’d by: @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social #kidlitartpostcard

I’ll take it.

Honestly, I love bsky precisely because it IS so slow. I'm not here to perform. I'm here to dwell on the little wierd micro thoughts of people in my industry that tend to get buried under the more popular art and video posts elsewhere, stuff people post not for ❤️s or follows, but just because.

Finished up revised sketches for Many Little Squiggles this week! Now I can finally reward myself by prepping my book journal for the next year! 📚 #illustratorlife

Merry December! It’s the last #kidlitartpostcard of the year, so I thought I’d send the year out in style with this posh little caroling quartet. I’m on the lookout for new projects in both PB and MG. Portfolio kirstenmcgonigal.com rep’d by: @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social

I've always tried to be very honest and transparent with my $ and safety situation. My partner pays our monthly bills EXCEPT for my business purchases. I also pay for kiddo's necessaries, household items, AND pay down our mortgage on principal with whatever I have left after taxes each year.

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI. With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech. My latest:

Happy book birthday to I DANCE! 🎶 🇵🇭 To have Filipino culture be so easily accessible, mixed with dancing, and a book that’s easy to read over and over - what a gift. So happy our book is finally out in the world. Beautifully written by Diana Rañola, published by Holiday House 📚

Hey #kidlitartpostcard! 🍁I’m interested in picture books, early reader books 🍁I’m repped by Lynnette Novak at @seymouragency.bsky.social 🍁View more of my work here www.gortmanillustration.com

Unapologetically read what gives you joy and strength and ignites a fire inside. Arm yourself with facts, with stories, with possibilities. There are those who don’t want you to know all you can be. Who want to imprison you with woe. They want you small. Devour words and build to dizzying heights.

Good thread on how publishing payments are structured. Brace yourself.

If you're not reading picture books, you're doing it wrong.

Today is #HobbitDay because both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway come and boromir #Tolkien books.

"When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton." Happy Hobbit Day, and happy birthday Bilbo and Frodo! #LOTR

Artists! Quote with your night art! #kidlitart #illustration

Your unique voice matters. In this fast pace world, overtaken by AI, side hustles and passive income. Be the passion. Let your story shine through your art. Be a child again, and play. #kidlitartist #arttips #kidlit #yourvoicematters #artmotivation #inspirationalquotes

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

honestly did not think i was going to make a new brush so soon but the pentel floatune 05 is such a beautiful analog experience i wanted to replicate it for ipad. I think I got the smoothness of drawing with it down. free for the week but as always tips welcome! ko-fi.com/s/c9fa7ed658
