This has been an educational week for me, as I tried to figure out WTF. Special thanks to Afoma Umesi and Josh Funk.

Placemaking, first draft #gouache #kiditillustration

"Better late than never" is my motto, and yes, I want that on my tombstone. Rabbits besiged by snails; note the saltshaker, the snail equivalent of boiling oil! #repostyourart April 30 #whimsical #gouache #kidlitillustration

I have a new favorite PB I just want to toot the horn for, y'all! Don't miss Gabba Gabba We Accept You: The Wondrous Tale of Joey Ramone. Written by Jay Ruttenberg, illustrated by Lucinda Schreiber, published 2025 by Drag City. Beautiful and inspiring. Go join a band! #kidlit #kidlitillustration

Thank you, Guardian, for this fine neologism ♥️

Can't wait to see this sketch of mine on Table Mountain String Band merch!

It's not like mine stands out, that's for sure! This is a fraction of the total wall space. At least mine are firmly attached. #IllustratorsWall #Bologna #BookFair #kidlit #kidlitpostcards #BCBF

Heading off to the Bologna Children's Book Fair today! Here's my piece on the Virtual Illustrator's Wall, and I have amphisbaena postcards to give away, if anyone needs one! Wish me luck, or at least survival! #kidlit #kidlitillustration #PBillustration #BCBF #BolognaFiere #gouache

Because why not, that's why

At least the lamppost stood still! #walktoseegrowth #walktosee

Patting myself on the back-- at the last minute, I decided that (using my personal time management tool, the System of Rotating Neglect (TM)) I could submit to #PBParty after all, and I did! Thank you, @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social and everyone else who puts so much time and energy into it.

Nice wheels, 1928

What a blast to sketch with Urban Sketchers Prague at Na Krutci orchard. Bonus: free apples! Hard to believe this is within the city limits. #urbansketchersprague #urbansketchers

10-minute drawing with one wet, one dry medium for #goodshipillustration Sketchbook module

Fun times sketching with Urban Sketchers Prague at Vítězné náměstí. A beautiful day, live bluegrass... perfect!

It's not my imagination, they have me under surveillance

Painted this birthday card for my skater son who is not on BlueSky, so posting won't spoil any surprises

An interesting limited palette exercise; good stretch into colors I wouldn't usually use

You can probably guess what led to these emergency labels...

Celebrating eight years ago today, when some one close to me was born in a Prius 🥳🎂🚗

See those tiny dots on the bridge? Those are people. So this is successful live figure drawing! #sketchbook #Prague #lifedrawing

I can't give my mother a bouquet of lilacs this year, so I made this little painting instead. You just have to imagine that purple smell...

They look like people! But, unlike people, they stand still long enough to be drawn. Long live this little king and queen! #watercolor #sketching #saltnpepper #theirmajesties

Wedding cake house in Šafárikovo námestie, Bratislava. Such color and such rooflines there!

@booker.senate.gov You have lifted my heart. Thank you.

First time I've messed about with type in quite a while; it leaves me questioning my judgement in a) taping this line together and b) leaving it set up that way for four years

Happy to see so many letterpress printers I know showing up here! #letterpress

Ooh @miss-grimke.bsky.social, check out this beautiful moss dress!

Meta is decomposing into a medium suitable only for growing mushrooms, so buh-bye Instagram. I call it #Zuxit. I hope more old friends will show up here!

An adorable book giveaway seems like the perfect way to kick off my weekend! 💙
