Stepping forward into the new year.

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

Happy last #KidLitArtPostcard Day of the year! Better bake some extra Christmas cookies just in case… I’m Kris Easler, represented by the wonderful @jenrofe.bsky.social of ABLA, and excited to work on picture through middle grade books! Check out more at www.kriseasler.com!

Reminder for anyone looking at their calendar + trying to figure out how to hit those writing / creative goals you made for 2025: It's okay to adjust in order to take care of you. You are more important than your work. Sending everyone gentle positive vibes as we head into the winter season. ❄️

Folktale Week day 7: Dawn @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekdawn #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

Folktale Week day 6: Storm. The charm cast, they pulled the storm of sound and sorrow in. (My body chose the worst week to get sick! I'm behind, but determined to see it through. One more to go...) #folktaleweek #folktaleweekstorm #folktaleweek2025

Folktale Week day 5: Charm. Struggling to be heard above the chaos, the charm is cast. @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekcharm #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

What's going on in Alabama and Tennessee around transgender books in the library is genuinely disgusting. Trans stories belong in libraries. Full stop. Trans people have and will always exist. And if you think this ends with trans stories pal there's a very famous poem I'd like you to read.

Folktale Week day 4: Book Cacophonous echoes still ringing, they opened the book. (Sick yesterday, so skipped day 3!) @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekbook #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

Folktale Week day 2: Echo A banshee-like spirit of those lost on the mountain, doomed to hear nothing but tho echo of their own cries. @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekecho #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

I'm participating in #folktaleweek2025. Prompt 1: NIGHT To see this in triptych form, check it out over on IG. The challenge this week was to: 1. Make a triptych. 2. Use a flat folk-inspired style. 3. Tell a story. 4. Same color palette all week. #folktaleweek #kidlit #kidlitart

Folktale Week day 1: Night (experimenting with a rough, woodcut-ish texture for this week’s challenge!) @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweeknight #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

I’ve never really a “bucket list” person, but seeing the northern lights was consistently the only thing that came to mind when someone asked me. After tonight, I can now confidently say it’s worth a bucket list status. I could never get tired of seeing this.
