Advice I'd give my younger self: Instead of obsessing about things you can't control and second-guessing yourself, focus on what you CAN control. Be kind to yourself. Find ways to create a safe mental space where you can convince yourself (even temporarily) that you are a good writer. 😁 #KidLitChat

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

About a year ago I was approached by Scholastic to pitch sketch ideas for the reprinting of Animorphs. After cryingscreamingbarfing I said YES OF COURSE. I am so grateful to have been chosen and for the enthusiasm everyone has expressed so far. David Mattingly left me some very big shoes to fill!

The rumours– not rumours– are true. Ppl in the #animation industry are, still, at the receiving end of greed, mergers, job cuts, capitalism, AI, unfair wages.. I could go on and on. We're trying to make animation still happen in the indie space. FOLLOW US if you support the #IndieAnimation movement!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE HAPPY HELLO SUNSHINE DAY!! ☀️☀️☀️

I'm ready to start on my fall projects 🍂

💖 Hi~ I've recently been hired as Illustration & Creative Lead at The Story Division, helping publishers with graphic novel projects. I'm currently updating our artist database & looking for a wider range of art styles. Cartoonists: post sequentials, website, availability below. No DMs/emails plz!

This entire article was a really good read for this Monday morning www.thenation.com/article/acti...

=7=)/ Happy Monday, hope all y'all have a good week! Any goals you're trying to hit? Me, I desperately need to sort out some clothes to donate for a clothes drive at my local library and I am hoping to get some much needed closet/drawer space

先月解散の某アイドルを参考にしました🥄🕶️

When I was in Cape St. Mary's on Friday the fog was as thick as pea soup, could barely see the colony and I was unsure if any of the shots I was taking would amount to anything at all. Pleasantly surprised, these look dramatic and so different from what we usually see! #gannets #wildlife #birds

My full review: www.thegamer.com/silent-hill-... This one is quite special, and takes the series to bold new places I hope are only the beginning. A new setting and a new voice as powerful as this deserve to be celebrated.

Silent Hill f is a bold depiction of feminine rage against the societal expectations and corrupt systems that demand women fulfil certain roles in life. Hinako Shimizu picks up a lead pipe and starts swinging at those unfair expectations until there is nothing left but ashes. #SilentHillf

#Animorphs fans, I'm very happy to share that the first three books in the series are being rereleased next May with brand new covers. 🧊🦎 You can learn more here: thenerddaily.com/animorphs-by... Cover artist: @creepcaptain.bsky.social Book design: Cassy Price and Christopher Stengel at Scholastic

:') Me with all the projects I want to tackle

SHRIMP WONTONS AND NOODLES AND MILK TEA ACQUIRED; the wontons are amazingly plump and fresh with a great mouthfeel :) These are at Maxi's Noodles in Flushing!

Fighting for my life to get to Flushing Queens and the promise of giant wontons and noodles is making this journey worth ittttt

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Artists! Quote with your night art! #kidlitart #illustration

Some pretty big news! Announcing Au Literary Management, where stories are as good as gold! Follow us over at @auliterarymgmt.bsky.social for updates.

And here's the vignettes! These costumes were so fun to design 🥳

shhhh.... 🤫 They're dreaming 💙 Sharing my end credit illustrations for Knights of Guinevere to celebrate the premiere! 🥳🥳🥳 Check out the pilot on Youtube : )

Got my author copies of The Beasts Beneath The Winds anthology we illustrated! We're already hearing so much positive buzz around this Southeast Asian collection 🧡 so check it out! #Booksky

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

Sarah Brightman La Luna or Dive, followed by Definitive Simon and Garfunkel and then wildcard of: something interesting/folksy he found at Borders on a whim, GRegoRiAN cHAnt, or he'll have mercy on my brother and I and let us pop in one of OUR CDs

i made this comic two years or something ago for a liberatory pedagogical project and it's finally up ✨

it'd be sooo snazzy if folks could participate in this survey about the affordability of prescriptions. i took the first survey through the Chronic Care Collaborative here in colorado and I just really care about patient advocacy and changing the landscape of prescription costs and accessibility 🥺

I’m glad to see more artists turn away from the overproduction norm of Patreon and Ko-Fi and use the platforms more like tip jars. We’re all so tired already, we shouldn’t have to burn ourselves out even more for a couple extra bucks a month

I've been SO ready for this!

I realllly dislike the appification of everything 😭 What do you mean I need to grab the app for my local grocery, the drive thru car wash, and an app for my health insurance instead of a physical card, etc etc

regular reminder that the people who created your favorite characters were largely marginalized individuals with antifascist views

We've only received single-digit event proposals so far! 😢 Did you attend any of our incredible online panels this past year? Those came from folks submitting their panel ideas! Event proposals are open to the public. You do NOT have to be a @cartoonist.coop member to pitch us a NIF event!!¹

Hey #kidlit illustrators! We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore. Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

A post to illustrate the premise that skills in art don't develop simultaneously. And also a little story about my art journey that might be inspiring for some. These are my pre-covid attempts at digital art. By that time I was quite decent with watercolour by digital art was a terra incognita

I think everybody could use some good news today.

Apparently ChatGPT also thought “Soda Pop” was a banger and decided to take credit for the lyrics?

"We're gonna keep showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors."

I would ask you to consider that buying a book by trans creators about trans characters sends a more powerful message about what a publisher should care about and spend their money on than not buying one.

I am just adding to the choir here: Dropout TV is a LOT cheaper than most other services, *STILL ALLOWS ACCOUNT SHARING*, and is run by and full of great people making FANTASTIC stuff! Beats the pants off any other streaming service.

the light at the end of the tunnel shines brighter than the darkness inside... 💛 #cuteart ♡ #crayonart ♡ #positivity ♡ #myart { #strawbunnycakeart }
