Insomnia, bibliophiles, river trolls, last things, and more abound in this delightful preview of @enchantedlion.bsky.social's Spring 2026 offerings. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/11/29/e...

Dear @rogerclark41.bsky.social, re: the expensive drink mentioned in today's Mornings on 1... a standard serving of Louis XIII can be anywhere between $100-$300. While it seems odd they are offering this drink option, I find it more surprising the Disney price stays within the standard range.

B is for Bibliophile, out this coming April with Enchanted Lion Books. enchantedlion.com/all-books/b-...

"Who Dat?" a photocopied zine on vellum.

I have an illustration in the November issue of Harper's Magazine, for a piece by Joy Williams contemplating the last days of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa. The online version of the issue was just released, and I believe it will be on newsstands next week. harpers.org/archive/2025...

Futzing around with possible adaptations of What Is It? A handmade abecedarian I made in late summer.

Looking forward to speaking at 3x3's Nuts & Bolts conference next month. nutsandboltsconf.com

My Etsy shop is finally open after being closed all summer. While I have a handful of items for sale, it's really the choking poster than anyone buys... www.etsy.com/shop/simkinb...

I will be exhibiting at BOOKSMART, as part of the Art on Paper fair, which opens tomorrow evening. Located at Pier 36 (299 South St, NY, NY), with public hours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. More details can be found here: ny.thepaperfair.com/booksmart/

New die cut stickers... objects from childhood. My copy of the Joy of Signing, and a Steinlen poster that was up in my kitchen growing up.

What Is It? A new silly handmade alphabet book.

I'll be exhibiting again as part of BOOKSMART at the Art on Paper fair in early September. ny.thepaperfair.com/booksmart/

The morning I woke up with mosquito bites on my eyelids, sometime in the mid 1980s.

Drawings of photos I took outside the Sullivan Street Playhouse after seeing The Fantasticks for my 6th birthday.

A drawing of the Sullivan Street Playhouse circa 1985.

New stickers ordered yesterday. Hopefully they'll arrive in time for BOOKSMART in early Septetmber (part of the Art on Paper fair).

The same company that's buying CBS (and needs Trump's approval to do so) is also trying to buy Bari Weiss' website. It's a political decision.

Some book cover practice, in preparation for an upcoming fall course.

Futzing around.

Summer zucchini flower update.

A little pop-up (v-fold) practice.

The NYT’s big profile on Skrmetti is centered around a genuine factual error, accusing the movement for trans rights and ACLU specifically of being behind the lawsuit, when it was the Biden administration. It’s literally in the name of the case, US v Skrmetti.

A friend just texted to congratulate me on a forthcoming project, about which she learned from ChatGPT. Never mind that I am ... not currently writing a book on the divine feminine... ? Again, again, again: AI is bad and wrong and won't give you accurate info, friends. It's not a search engine.

No Kings designs adjusted for social media use.

Second attempt.

A first attempt at a No Kings poster.

Summer studio shenanigans.

On the off chance you've not yet seen, @brianlarossa.com, sending this your way.
