My good friend @axolotlpond.bsky.social had a birthday this week. They have really helped me through alot of artistic hurdles. This is their #lalafell character Roroka Roka, who has inspired a good bit of Archie's Lore as well :)

I started to write a joke about Zeno, but I quit halfway through

A bit of a fun Art Fight pic. For @gravegrime.bsky.social His character Lark Tweedy. Shes just so adorable I had to draw her :)

If you want calm kid shows that don't talk down/scream at it's viewers, Oswald is one of my top choices. youtu.be/-ZlaQMiwdCQ

Ok so seriously I feel like ai is trying to hurt children. I was critical of a lot of kids shows in the past because they seemed to just be time wasters that assumed kids were idiots, but using ai to make stuff for kids is gonna be way worse than anything Cocomelon could put out…

On behalf of the entire children's illustration community on here, I hope these AI bros disappear someday. I am very much against government survailence, but using AI to make a kids book cover to push some political agenda is akin to someone wearing bunny slippers when they kick you in the nuts...

I almost forgot, its #portfolioday I draw all sorts of fun stuff, mostly with a focus on kidlit.

Mona, Edith and June in attempting a cuter style

Almost forgot the embroidered entry!! I hope to do a few more of these before the month is out. Sunny belongs to @billspooks.bsky.social #artfight #teamcomedy

Heres another #artfight pic I saw @billspooks.bsky.social scarecrow girl and had to draw her. She is so cute :)

You know, I usually take symptoms listed for stuff with a grain of salt, but after what i mentioned yesterday ive been looking it up: www.vizen.care/blog/how-to-...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT-G... I know these videos are kinda silly, though I think Oz is pretty cool. He has an interesting history, but has alot of good first hand experience in alot of the things he talks about. This one hit really close to home though. Kevin's struggle is so relatable...

Paying homage to 1976 Freaky Friday with our own soon-to-be body swapped characters 🌈 #Art #Illustration #OC #Booksky

I had to do this myself. Not as amazing as Grave's but I love the character so much. Spooky cute is my favorite kind of spooky :)

I forgot how to spell hashtags, so I'll post this again. #scottpilgrim Its spelled in the pic so i really don't have an excuse.

I really wanna work on more stuff this month. Feels like I don’t have time but it’s more about focus. I think finding a more stable job would help but meantime I want to tell more stories through art. Create worlds and stuff. #kidlitart

Another attack, done! This one is for @snailbunnydesigns.bsky.social In truth, the author of this character had several different references with slightly different hair, face, and clothing styles; I kinda mixed and matched when I made this 😅 #artfight #krita #noai

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day to all participating I love kids books, and dream of working on them as much as I can. They inspire kids to read and learn, and give me hope. I'm a kidlitartist out of a small town in Utah. I draw whatever comes to mind, but am happy to draw for others.

Almost missed #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I'm Hatem Aly. I illustrate books & enjoy working on smart, reflective, funny, and authentic stories for all age ranges. 💛 Picturebooks, chapter books, graphic novels, and books of all kinds. Portfolio (undergoing some repairs): metahatem.com Links in bio.

If this website could be normal for a moment, that would be nice. I just had to block someone who was convinced i was racist for using the word "clanker" to describe an AI fan, which clearly meant I am horrible and evil....

Coming up SO FAST. Our next #kidlitartpostcard event. See you and your best children’s illustrations on Thursday, June 2nd!!! #kidlit

Imagine the AUDACITY of someone WORKING while TRANS 😱

Covid is less of a thing now i suppose, so i haven't had as much reason to post these. Its still cause for concern though, so I will contribute. Seriously though, Get your heckin' vaccine...

Starting off the character run with our protagonist Lark! Our intrepid adventurer determined to make her mark

おっはようございまーす(ΦωΦ)/ 昨日観た映画のヒロインの服装が良かったので翠っちょんに着せてみた。

Okay finally able to get this done. Thanks so much to @hovernway.bsky.social for the help in getting a template that works. #artfight #artfight2026

🌈 If you see this, quote with your art to celebrate Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Folks in Utah should appreciate this :) #kidlitart #pridemonth

Had to draw her, shes too cute :)

👻 If you see this, post a haunted house from your portfolio 👻 #kidlitart #art

I CONSTANTLY be sayin'!!! I think in a lot of cases the problem comes that, even if the target is truly that shitty, your cruelty and retributionary thinking is personally eroding. You're destroying yourself for people you're not going to sway anyways. Righteousness is corrupting.

I've been accused of a lot of stuff on this site. Being both Gay and Straight (I'm neither, i'm Ace), A communist, a nazi, a racist against both white and black people, and am misgendered on a regular basic because of the cute art style. Nobody has ever accused me of being British :D

“Mass involuntary institutionalization” I think anyone with a middle school level of history knowledge knows what that means. It’s time to stop pretending things are okay. We have to keep going, but we must stand together in this

Its still pride month. and while I worried a bit that this didn't turn out as good as i hoped, I still wanted to post it to show solidarity. Not that i would refrain from posting stuff like this any other time ;) Jordan and Rachel are just such a cute couple :) #lgbt #lgbtpride #loudhouse

This lady said something very silly. The very idea that any of the things she mentioned is in the least comparable to AI ignores all the creativity present in those various mediums. taking things and using them to make something creative is a far cry from AI, and its insults those involved.

Ive been seeing a few posts here trying to bring autism together with AI. making claims that AI detecting software misidentifies autistic writing as AI, which i agree with entirely, and autistic people need AI to make art, which i vehemently do not...

I don’t normally like even reading this nonsense but this takes the cake. There is no such thing as suicidal empathy. It’s a nonsense phrase made up by people that want to treat people badly and excuse themselves. For the post to even entertain such a thing is horrendous

Happy Father's Day to everybody — whether you still have him around, or lives in your memory, or have become one and your children are of flesh and bone... or of paper and ink. Have a good one regardless. 🎁

✨🏳️‍⚧️ Isn’t she lovely 🏳️‍⚧️✨ #tadc #jax

May have made a mistake. I think she said the collar had little skulls on it. O well, this is cuter :)

Quick little doodle to test out some new brushes. I'd want Marie to look more like this if I ever did an issue 2. I kinda like the idea of painted backgrounds, but I'm not so sure yet.

New awareness campaign

Explain your @: I like these things.

It was a few years ago when i drew this, but it keeps getting more and more appropriate. For pride month people used to pain the Y on the mountain by BYU, but people got mad and they blocked it off... Archie aint about to let that stand... #lgbt #lgbtpride

Happy #Juneteenth to all the people of African descent out there. I drew this some years ago admittedly, and am always a bit nervous about drawing African hair cause I'm pretty unfamiliar with it. Still i hope its a good one for all of yall :)

These governments and so many other people consider those of us opposed to ai ignorant or ill informed when the truth is we know exactly what ai is about. God knows we do more research on the subject than others

Today, June 18th, is Autistic Pride Day. Happy Autistic Pride Day from all of us at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network! Nothing about us, without us!
