How’s the weather in your area today? If it wasn’t for Febold Feboldson (a tall tale folk hero and cloudbuster) the weather in the early 1900s hundreds would have been not great. #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #kidlitillustration #kidlitillustrators #childrensbookstagram #kidlitartists

Cosmic Lion Productions Presents: TURBO HAWK #2! May 2025. In a future ravaged by an alien invasion, Turbo Hawk continues down the rabbit hole on his quest to the darker corners of the post-apocalypse. #turbohawk #ink #cosmiclionproductions #makemorecomics #draw #meesimo

The President of the United States has repeatedly demonstrated that his loyalty to arguably the greatest enemy of our country and the free world in general is far greater than his loyalty to the American people and our constitution. When the fuck is someone going to do something about it?

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

Storm’s coming.

Do you need to wipe away the last project to take on the next? My last project was spending 2 years getting my MFA degree in 2024.Then 23 days later starting as a full time college assistant professor. It’s been Good things, tough things, some really tough things. Always, back to the drawing board.

Following his animation debut in 1934, Donald Duck received his own daily newspaper strip (drawn by Al Taliaferro) on February 7, 1938. Here's the first week of dailies:

My latest #kidlitpostcard Rep’d by Nicole Tugeau at T2 I’m interested in picturebooks, board books, early readers, graphic novels and chapter books.

I've had lots of sketches of the plant Henbane floating around in my sketchbook for a while now and I am finally able to put them to good use. Here is a little glimpse into the sketching process for something I am working on for my next @everydayoriginal.bsky.social piece, set to go live on Feb 21st

I was asked about AI. I am not a writer, but these are my feelings as best I could explain.

Kindergartners: next time you ask for something, I’m giving you a bear book! 😤📚🐻 (Seriously, though, does anyone have any leads on this fire princess book?!) #comics #librarian #schoollibrary #libraries #kidlit #schoollibrarian

#hourlycomics every year are so enjoyable. I have yet to have a year that I can enjoy making them. This year… I sat down to draw and the whir of dread in my head overtook all. Dread. Dreaaaad. So much, too much. How are you doing over there?

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

Perhaps longing to hide in a handbag is how you feel as well. I certainly feel like a perturbed Pomeranian, self protective and unsure about interaction. But alas, the life of a freelance illustrator requires promotion. So here I am posting and working on a picture book dummy for this guy. #kidlit

Great tribute to Feiffer’s long & varied career - I particularly love the last bit: ““Are you on to the next project already?” Mr. Simon asked the indefatigable Mr. Feiffer, who had turned 95 that year. “Of course,” he replied. “What a foolish question. Of course.””! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/a...
