🍪 Tough Cookie Is 10 🍪 I can’t believe that the first book I even illustrated, is 10 years old! To celebrate I dug some original artwork out from the archives. It’s my first (and last) book that I painted traditionally with acrylic! Forever grateful to everyone who helped make this book. #kidlitart

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.
