One key, I've found, to creating for young people: finding ways to retain one's sense of WONDER. For me, this means that no matter how anxious I am to get somewhere, reminding myself to look for ways to enjoy the journey: to look for and appreciate the stories behind people and things.

WARRIORS: TPB VOL3 is #1 NYT bestseller!!! Thank you everyone!

“Covid isn’t that bad” No, noo not at all, it’s not that bad, I’m just using a asthma inhalator for the first time in my life after literally never needing one and needing one only now 5 fcking years after getting Covid cause it decided to make my body deteriorate invisibly. But it’s not bad. No.

A few more Zoros before the Collab finished 😁❤️ @zoroartcollab.bsky.social #zoroartcollab #zoro

Keep track of the victories when they come

"It's so weird that we're seeing noticeable increases in burnout" meanwhile: - no wages increases but huge inflation - defunding social support programs (what's left anyway) - politicians choosing daily to set the planet on fire - ongoing pandemic Yeah, can't imagine why people are burning TF out

commission for Jackie & Dan, masterminds behind Trombone Champ

Reasons I love my comic: -My lead character is a fem man. He's allowed to be a valiant hero and his feminine traits aren't treated as a joke -He has other fem friends who aren't catty and they get to be pretty together -His love interest adores him even in altered forms

Omnibus - blunt home defense weapon used to crush bones, secondary function as a collection of comic books

Oh okay, jk jk one last round of chaotic sketchbook snaps, this time featuring Dedue and Ashe from Fire Emblem Three Houses =7=)/ I'm participating in the Blue Lions Big Bang so getting back into the swing of fanart making is important and freeing! @bluelionsbb.bsky.social #fireemblem 🎨

Also in a bit of chaotic shuffling through the Olde Work AND while listening to Fantasy High Junior Year, I am pulling up some of the OLD but still Beloved art of TTRPG PCs past! Starting with Raksha, my Way of Four Elements Monk 🌊 I really got comfy with the rules of 5E with her! #dnd #dndpc 🎨

It's Friday my dudes, so chaotically going to upload some ancient #Zosan art from the old sketchbook ;') I'm a lot rusty when it comes to making fanart but I'm trying! Beyond really honing my portfolio for Work I also am trying to rekindle all the Indulgent art I used to make for myself U_U 🎨

Voters on Tuesday: We hate everything you're doing Trump administration: OK, got it. What if we starved you and ruined air travel for Thanksgiving

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.

Art Vs Artist! ✨️ 🎨

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

Hello all it's kidlitartpostcard day x) So I am gonna be sharing a few that speak to me! 🍂

Yes, & also: Write down ALL your fun ideas and keep em in one place (notes app, notebook, word doc, etc). Including the ones you end up *not* using for your story. Refer to it next time you get writer’s/artist’s block. You’ll find a perfect use for each idea eventually, be it now or 5 yrs from now

Hey illustrators/agents! I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; texture (printmakingish); AND BATS! Lively, active, swarming BATS! Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

Love a completely average pigeon #art

To go off of a bit I mentioned earlier today, it's entirely possible that the Korean manhwa market in English is going to get pigeonholed into being nothing more than Webtoons & romance titles, if most English publishers stay the course they're on. An entire history of a medium nigh lost to time.

Resharing this one from many moons ago 🌕 Full Circle, 11x14” mixed media on paper. #art #illustration #fullMoon

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

today is my 28th birthday! as we all know, sharing artists’ work makes them very happy. thank you for all your continuing support and newfound friendships this year, it means the world to me.

Making Nonfiction Comics by Shay Mirk & Eleri Harris is the next great comic making textbook. @mirkdrop.bsky.social @elerimai.bsky.social

🧵Brian Straw is one of the folks charged, along w/ Kat Abughazaleh, w/ felony conspiracy to impede federal officers in Broadview [Chicago]. As it happens, he's also my friend, a deeply decent man whose compassion shines & fairly shimmers off him, no matter what he's doing. If you can help, pls do.

;) Giving this one a little morning bump, plus a bonus Grim doodle

Just a little sparkly fox doodle, for fun~ ✨ #digitalart 🎨

If you see this QTP with a female anime character you love!
