Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)

imagine even thinking about using ai when a living breathing master of the craft is putting his knowledge on youtube for free

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

hi everyone my sh♡p is back open. it feels silly to make this sort of post when so many terrible things are happening in the world. i appreciate your support always

I think now is a good time to remind you all that I have a starter pack filled with many amazing Iranian/Perisan artists and creatives! Please support them all!! go.bsky.app/LHbyaKp

going to play Pokémon and stay off the internet today I think 🫠

As hard as we are fighting, book bans are having an impact on the books being written and published. To put this another way, a very small number of well-funded people who don't write books, don't teach books, don't work in libraries are trying to decide what books are available for everyone else

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

wheeee ✊💚✊💚✊💚

Things you can win in our charity art raffle #13: Jeepney print by Alex Barrow.

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

just a PSA to women and femmes: charge more than you think you should for your skills/labour guy i hired for a little job yesterday gave a no nonsense quote (and did a great job, no notes) a woman i spoke to about the same job said she wouldn't even charge me because it was "just a canva job"

A reminder that my board books with rainbow families 🌈, illustrated by Elina Braslina (banned in Hungary & Russia) are now available in over 40 languages: BEDTIME www.orcabook.com/Bedtime-Not-... MORNING www.orcabook.com/Early-One-Mo... #booksky #kidlit #lgbtq #queerkidlit #queerreads #scbwi

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

Happy 40th old friend.

‼️ Stop the 27% MLA pay rise. NI civil servants accepted 9% over nearly two years. Teachers and healthcare workers fought for single-digit rises. Many public sector workers are still waiting for anything fair. greenpartyni.org/stop_the_27_... 1/5

gonna have another book to do soon (yay!) which means less paintings (boo) but I am proud of myself for getting into a groove of making things and doing things between books. Because the books are way more sporadic now.

a shooting star! #KidLitArt

Things you can win in our charity art raffle #5: "What Happened to Rose?", a set of three A3 risograph prints by Takako Copeland.

anyway I know I bang on about it but I have to move house soon & the fewer boxes of tarot decks I have to move the better so if you all could buy some of these (v high quality, UK-printed) handsome fellas I'd be most grateful shop.frankduffy.co.uk/franks-slow-... #tarotsky #queer

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia. But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

God, this sounds great!

Happy Year of the Horse! 🎉

The internet used to be the highlight of the day; something you visited during lunch hours in the library, or raced home from school to log onto & find new sites. Now the internet feels like we went from getting a feast of diverse foods to getting government-issue MREs that come in only 5 flavors.

a reminder that I have a ✨sale✨ on my website at the moment - 15% off all linoprints - & am packing up and sending orders now so if you want yours this week get a wriggle on! shop.frankduffy.co.uk #witchsky

very, very tired

find my wares at Belfast’s premium queer bookshop Paperxclips today and tomorrow 😊

Wondering - what kind of community do #KidLit folks miss anyway? It’s not all about marketing to potential buyers… what else are we talking about missing from ‘the good olde days’?
