Over the years there have been many stray kitties who’ve come and gone at my parents home. Currently 2 kittens have made themselves at home. But yday, an older kitty from 3yrs back revisited! The tiny kitten did not appreciate the intrusion. No hissing, no fighting, just a cold death stare. #kidlit

Back in 2020 when I’d decided to get into children’s publishing, I was commissioned to illustrate a book about a very adventurous frog. I still love some of the artwork I made for this story. All from the character designing, environment, palette, and detailing. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebook

On a scale of “meh” to “OMG! I gotta see that for myself!”, how curious are you as a person? #kidlit #kidlitart

I've made a STARTER PACK of active South-Asian #kidlit #illustrators here on BlueSky! ✨ Feel free to check it out and follow them! I will add more as more artists join here and are active. If you are one and would like to join, please let me know! 😊 #kidlitart go.bsky.app/7rFEK2b

UPDATED: My Bluesky Starter Thread. Newest version can always be accessed via debbieohi.link/starter. More #BlueSkyTips, resources etc: debbieohi.link/bluesky-tips Note: These are just suggestions; there's no ONE right way to use Bluesky. Feel free to share with anyone who needs it! cont'd 👇🏼

ICYMI - I made a #StarterPack for #KidLitArt folks - this one is a combination of accounts that would be of interest, and some feeds that make it easier to see #kidlit and kidlitart posts! go.bsky.app/PdRV7Sw

Accidentally opened BlueSky in the middle of work and obviously got distracted by #makeaterriblecomicday2024

Please note July's #KidLitArtPostcard event is getting pushed out one week due to the 4th of July holiday. You have an extra week to make a great promo piece #kidlitart illustrators. And an extra week for #kidlit art directors, editors, and agents to come on over to Bluesky.

If you see this, post something pink 🌸 #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitillustration
