Birthday card for my love <3

Found sketch, a tiny Piccolo in pink 💗

Emerging from a deadline with snippets to share ❤️ From my picture book biography of Aaron Copland, out next spring. More to share soon 💐

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Bringing it to 🦋 by request: People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

Just a reminder for no particular reason at all

Hi #kidlitartpostcard ❤️ I'm an author & illustrator of kids books based in Jersey City, NJ. Here's a study for my current book-in-progress (while I'm getting in the flow of my deadline!) Repped by Andrea Morrison @ Writer's House More at veronicamang.com ❤️

I’m so thrilled to finally share what I’ve been squirreled away working on ❤️ Thank you to my agent Andrea Morrison, my editor Tamar Brazis, and the entire Viking team who saw the very early seed of this idea and encouraged me to grow it. See ya in 2026 ❤️

well holy shit

To whoever needs to hear it: time to sit with/step away from a project is good! I know there are limits and analysis paralysis is real. But in general, when I give a project space edits come faster and I can see the art clearer. Can’t always be slowpokes, but space is good!

I've loved dipping back into mixed media collage! I had started experimenting with this post-grad but then got very busy and very dusty with graphite for the Secret Spy Society. I'm working on more pieces to share, but for the moment here is a soft spring hare 🖤 #kidlitart #kidlit #childrensbooks

Hello! Are we doing #portfolioday here too? I’m Chuck, a kid’s book illustrator who likes drawing nature, animals and history.

Hi Bluesky #portfolioday 🦋 My primary focus is on works for children, but I would love to expand into other areas, too! I'm especially keen on surface design and editorial work. More at veronicamang.com 🖤✏️

I've been reunited with one of my favorite Twitter accounts, everything is going to be okay 🙏

In an effort to heal myself from wicked burnout, I picked up ceramics again a year ago and MY GOD it's so good for my brain. Here's a silly little Martinelli's cup I made for my BF. Also a rainbow trout cup! and a chubby little planter!
