Here comes Pacheco!!! 🦜💫🔥 Drew this for @apamaate.bsky.social ‘s Dtiys challenge, I’ve always wanted to draw fanart for his comic “Pacheco and the Witch of Mountain” and this was the perfect opportunity to do so. Check it out if you have the chance! #Art #Fanart #dtiyspacheco

Paws up

I ordered this on a whim because it looked beautiful... was not expecting to cry. congratulations juan. i'm plugging real bird species all into my next GN, so to read this was such a shock and delight. you're an inspiration. thank you for your work!

I just finished reading this and... the character designs... the societal norm-challenging sweetness... the beauty and colors... the women... losing my bird loving mind. each page was a masterpiece ! such a wonderful book to gift any kid (or nature loving adult) wow

It's my birthday tomorrow and my only request is that you read/review/tell a friend to read my book about getting a second chance with the boy who got a way, fumbling through young adulthood, and of course, the horrors..! Strange Bedfellows! www.arielries.com/books/

Next up, the Great Sorceress, keeper of magical mysteries and bearer of tremendous magical abilities... And her little apprentice. Will Chiqui ever be able to measure up to her grandmother? Maybe one day. First things first though, she's got to keep working on that transformation spell.

Bárbara calls it like she sees it, which can make her come across a bit harsh. Alba, on the other hand, usually keeps to herself, but can be very persistent about rules.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Gonna start posting some characters from my book. First up, Consuelo and Maigualida, the Witches of the Cloud Forest and the High Seas! Each one inspired by a different Venezuelan region (the Andes, and the Lake Maracaibo and La Guajira).

This is a tribute to Peter Benchley, author of 'Jaws', who dedicated his life to reversing the unexpected negative impact his book had on the image of sharks. We kill millions of sharks annually and demonize them in our media, who is the real monster? 💀 #Jaws #sharks #shark

Monarch butterflies journey thousands of miles across multiple generations, symbolizing new beginnings and the right we all have to move freely. We must stand with immigrants!! 🧡

hey i'm gonna start posting about this more again, with about 6 months left and a little over halfway to go

I've MANY feelings about the state of trad publishing for comics, most of which are angsty & fill me w/ dread. So I'll just say: If you read a book you loved, tell the creator! Tell your friends! Tell the internet! Tell your local library! Buy a copy! We need to hear that what we created matters.

Can you believe it? Pacheco just got a ★ starred review from the folks at @ala-booklist.bsky.social. Thank you so much for such nice words. 🦜 Pacheco and the Witch of the Mountain hits the shelves June, 17th from @andrewsmcmeelkids.bsky.social and is available now for pre-orders!

Some springtime birds I saw while visiting Japan! 🌸🪶

listen, it's been ten minutes and i'm still thinking about the low-pay "make AI comics for us" post. it was a nothing job listing from a company that has done nothing of note and should be beneath your notice. HOWEVER, it might still be helpful to notice the many ways in which it is a bad gig --

If you see this, post a witch! Alba, the Witch of the Silver Moon.

I usually draw birds, but today I present to you: a bunch of fishies (and a squid) that some of my favorite birds like to eat.
