Hiho #portfolioday It’s me! I’m Jenn. I like to draw all the things and I’m ALWAYS looking for work. (I do the writing stuff too sometimes!) jkharney.blogspot.com #kidlitart #childrensbooks #hiremeplease

I am currently eating cheese and drinking coffee. There is a looming set of revisions waiting for me. So I think I’ll pour another cup. #kidlit check in.

Went completely spent. Took no photos. Saw humans I liked. Met new humans. Tank refueled. Thank you so much ‘ @scbwi-ohionorth.bsky.social for a great conference. (That’s my elephant on the banner!)

Happy (Early) Birthday! Go team Bear! @briangehrlein.bsky.social

THIS! This is why I draw on Manila envelopes. Nothing too precious.

I will be leaving my house. Did you remember to sign up? Follow this space for details on the 143rd annual non sanctioned pre conference Booze and Smooze. Because this illustrator needs whisky. HUZZAH! I also need socialization. @scbwi-ohionorth.bsky.social #kidlitart #kidlit

Agreed! I LOVE tangents!!!

🌟🌟🌟We got a star!!! 🌟🌟🌟 Woohoo!! Can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on this one! #kirkusreview #kidlitart #childrensbooks @briangehrlein.bsky.social @littlebrownyr.bsky.social

How the general public thinks books get made. #easybutton #kidlitart

Woohoo!!! #kidlitpostcard time!! Also popsicle time. The ONLY good thing about summer. Hiya! I’m Jenn. I hate summer. I love popsicles….and drawing (and sometimes writing) for kids. #kidlitart #childrensbooks #kidlit #illustrator

Why #kidlit ? Simple…kids are nuts and working for them is crazy fun and crazy work at the same time. Couldn’t do anything else. #kidlitchat #kidlitart

THIS IS NOT A SLEEPY BEAR BOOK 🤣😂 @jennharknee.bsky.social www.amazon.com/gp/product/0...

HOLY MAN!!! I didn’t know this was today!!!! I LOVE Bear and Owl!! I hope you guys will too! @briangehrlein.bsky.social is hilarious!!! #kidlitart #colourcollective #childrensbooks

Easter needs a styleguide

So this happened today. Never expected a New York Times book review. Added and checked off my publishing bucket list in one day! Thanks @selenecastrovilla.bsky.social for first writing such a fun history story and second posting the review!

Floyd Pepper is my hero. Needed an art cleanse between deadlines. Haven’t drawn for myself in forever. #CCJasperOrange #colour_collective #kidlitart #muppetshow #childrensbookilkustration

It’s a double book birthday today!! 🐈 @jennharknee.bsky.social #AstraYoungReaders

My biggest accomplishment today was making a really good grilled cheese. #smallvictories

When your final checklist for a project includes “stink lines” and “flies”. I love my job

A new years miracle. Figured out (with the help of @charlenedraws.bsky.social ) a way to salvage the line art. Ahead of deadline now. Worked all day on sheer adrenaline. Woot! Thanks for the help virtual office mates and happy new year. Don’t forget to open the door to let the old year out.

Upside of inking fiasco? Might be the catalyst for a new/stronger/better/faster bionic machine. As long as it works with the old Wacom. Don’t want to upgrade that yet. Any suggestions hive mind?

And I just inked a whole book at 200dpi instead of 400dpi. Happy New Year to me.

Me too!!

LOVE these guys!! @briangehrlein.bsky.social is amazing!! #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #flamethrower

I can’t wait for everyone to meet them. Coming soonish (in book time) #charactersketches #childrensbookillustration #comingsoon

Oh! And here’s some art. Waving hi! #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #imback

Oh my! Oh my! It’s like I’m home again. Hi kid lit folks! So many people I know! #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration
