Hello #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm Julian, a queer 🏳️‍⚧️ picture book illustrator working in gouache. I've climbed out of the final art mines to wave around a little flag that says "let me illustrate a book about frogs or bugs!" 🌌 julianplum.com 💌 [email protected] #kidlitart #picturebooks #art 🐸 🌿

In which @stevewestenra.bsky.social gives intriguing answers to excellent questions from @alexpuncekar.bsky.social at @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social about his novella we're releasing next year, THE BARBARIAN AT STAR'S END! www.grimdarkmagazine.com/interview-wi...

Detail of "Midwinter Star" a personal watercolor of mine that may be in the #Changeling "Deck the Halls" auction next week. Experience teaches that it's not smart to offer art that's too big to fit in a USPS Priority mailer, and yet I contemplate... #watercolor #Christmas #artshop #bearinanightcap

One of my favorite writers, KD Edwards, is doing an online silent auction to help with his projects. I donated a piece depicting two characters from his Tarot Sequence books, Addam and Rune to be part of the auction. Check it out! (www.32auctions.com/Kdedwards)

Super excited to share that I'll be joining @taplingzines.bsky.social 's We've Always Been Here queer history zine! 👀🏳️‍🌈 Keep an eye out for it in 2026! (I already have an idea and it's going to be so much fun)

I've started a new (written) DnD campaign and despite having barely started, I'm already so unwell about it. Here's our /extremely normal/ party...hence the hashtag for them: #TheCuriosities #originalart | #ocart

/Destiny brings together the strangest of people.../ Probably my most ambitious group piece yet, just based on pure numbers - likely the only one I'll do for this campaign, oof -- 13 is a lot, folks!!! (As usual the designs have my own vague spin on them 🫶) #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart

It costs $0.00 to support a watercolor artist!!

Say we were looking for an artist who could draw some devastatingly good tabaxi (paid of course) for an as-of-yet unannounced project… What would it take to convince them to send us their portfolio 🤔 (Picture unrelated but also kind of not)

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS by Stephen Graham Jones. A modern horror classic where guilt, regret, and the natural world converge, I was enraptured. Powerful and propulsive. Our drink is Elk Blood, it's the aftertaste that gets ya!

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” - George Eliot "An Autumn Eve" by Elisabeth Alba, now available on Every Day Original at everydayoriginal.com/product/an-a...

If anyone has good photographs of European goldfinches that they're happy for me to use as painting references, I'd be so grateful. Thank you. 💛 Please share among birders, if you would! 🙏🪶

This is probably the largest art I've made in a long time; it's 16x48 inches at 300dpi. All of the animals are inspired by petroglyphs and cave art from around the world on top of the shapes found within the animals themselves. #art #caveart #petroglyph #deer #wolves #ravens #raven #wolf #elk
