💖 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!

Felt so good to use watercolor again! #kidlitart #kidlit #art #artsky #watercolor #dogs #goldenretriever

the bucket mouse trap in the studio worked 😭 bitter sweet victory - I need the mice out of there so I can actually use the space again (it was INFESTED) - but I hate having to kill the local wildlife when I live in the middle of the woods 🥺

To authors thinking of using AI to translate their books instead of hiring a human translator: I strongly recommend you read this excellent article by @averyudagawa.bsky.social on the #SCBWI blog: scbwi.blogspot.com/2025/09/ai-w... #KidLit #Translation

Join me next Saturday at Porter Square Books @porter_square_books at 11am for storytime. I’ll be reading, drawing, showing originals, and of course signing books for my newest release PIGGY BANK SAVES THE DAY #booksigning #bookrelease #portersquarebooks #childrensbookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart

The US tariff situation has greatly impacted the income of many independent creators, so please bear with us if you see more shop advertisements than usual 🥲💖 Your support (which includes interacting with these posts however you can) and patience is greatly appreciated !! 🫵

What movie do you consider “perfect?”

Please be patient with cartoonists, we have to figure out how to draw so many different kinds of chairs

Sketchieessss #art #illustration #kidlit

Found this stump with TWO KINDS of mushrooms behind the barn!

agreed!! and fwiw although I don't really have the bandwidth/time to offer full time mentorship, if anybody has specific comics-MAKING questions (as opposed to industry stuff, which I am, frankly, baby at) feel free to ask! I like helping!

I had so much fun chatting with these INCREDIBLE cartoonists on ComicLab! 🎉 Thank you Brad and Dave for having us, and thank you @seanwangart.bsky.social and Jason for being so lovely!

phenomenal, illustrious, gorgeous, breathtaking

hey if you made art or had a book come out this week: hell yeah! i wanna see it!! please keep sharing your stuff!!!!

hey discord how do i turn this annoying notifications section off. I already have notifications on the dang servers - why do i need one that i cant turn off???

It's been 3 months since "On Guard!" dropped! If you'd like to pick up a copy you can find your favorite online retailer here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/722325... (Or - if you've read it from the library - THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY!)

PUMPUMPUMPKIN!!!!

The mouse is blurry to imply speed

rewatching The Weekenders counts as having weekend friend plans, right? …right? 🥲 🎨✨

The comic that got us demonetised on Facebook back in August. (We’re no longer on Facebook).

The scene in Fidler where Tevye and the other dude dance at the bar surrounded by everyone else is perfectly mirrored in the Wicked movie and I’m not afraid to say it

are there any god discords for freelance comic creators to find listings?

Apologizing tit he eye doctor for not being able to read the tiny tiny letters

Wedding industry - please think twice before using a script font - especially for upper case letters 🥲

reminding again hoo boy could i use a few crumbs of freelance

i know to many it's a job, but comics demand a nuclear amount of energy, usually provided by one person working alone, that is so misunderstood and unmatched lol

no joke this is why i throw letters in before i start drawing haha. they don't have to be perfect but it's a real good reminder to leave that space. i'd do it even if i wasn't responsible for the final lettering tbh (this doesn't save me from when i edit my dialogue after i've drawn the thing oc)

Gonna be gonna be golden (Alternatively: my little soda pup?)

Why is it always the little dogs that act feral and freak out at the outdoor mall just from seeing another dog?😭 just b/c your dog is small doesn’t mean it’s okay that they react to EVERY dog that crosses their path. Zag is a good boy who doesn’t even acknowledge them thankfully. Hes just like :3

it doesn't have to be like this

Hey cool @scottmccloud.bsky.social drops by. Envy this crowd. They've solved the isolation problem this profession has.

#DVpit 2025 is coming up! 🎉And we have over 70 agents & editors committed to participate in this pitch event for marginalized creators!🎉 ✍️Polish up those pitches before October 8, 2025 🔗And go to dvpit.carrd.co for more info #writersky #authorsky #booksky

Waiting for jobs - full time or freelance work - and emails from people when you're unemployed is somehow...exhausting 😅 #comics #art

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

POLL for artists who find Bluesky useful (for work, self-motivation, community etc): What TIPS do you have for fellow artists about promoting your art on this platform? Hoping to create a resource similar to Book Promotion On Bluesky. HELPFUL tips only, pls. Self-promo etc hidden/blocked. Thx!

same for artists. no artist is burnt out because their workload would be less with AI or their project managing software could be assisted by AI. we’re burnt out because our work is not respected enough. what we do is seen as disposable and replaceable, rather than valuable.

We're really really *really* enjoying Long Story Short on Netflix. It's such wonderful storytelling + amazing artwork/animation style. I'm so happy this is being made.
