I've been looking at some old sketches in my messy sketchbooks. I realized I should share some that are not work-related if I can't share what I am working on right now. Well..some random stuff for now!

Do not engage with trolls. BLOCK them. Certain people thrive on the controversy, the attention. Do not give it to them. Feel free to share with anyone who needs it: How to Block a user on Bluesky (including screenshots of what they'll see, etc): debbieohi.link/how-to-block #BlueSkyTips

As upsetting as it may be for some, the kidlit community deserves better than SCBWI. Please read this and the post linked in the 1st comment to learn about Danielle Monique's experience. ​It is shameful to be fired for speaking out against Israel's genocide, which affects thousands of children.​​

If you see this, post a knight!

#KidLitArtPostcard is tomorrow!!! Kidlit artists - remember to post your postcards! Everyone else - Please smack those Like & Repost buttons! And leave nice comments, if you have the spoons!
