We are not complaining because we are afraid of it, we are complaining because it looks like dogshit and it's everywhere! This is as polite as I can be about AI 😭

New next week is release of 2nd "Joshua Learns from the Land" book from @highwaterpress.bsky.social by Tyna Legault Taylor & illus by @michelledaoart.bsky.social. KOKUM, ARE THESE MOOSE TRACKS? #seasons #Indigenoustraditions #Indigenouslanguages canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2025/10/koku...

Gosh...the past year really makes me feel I should pivot to a whole different career.

Bring back 20-24 episode seasons of TV.

living through cringe-ass v for vendetta plotline is weird

The new Procreate brushes are just 🤌✨

One more "generative AI" in a job description and I'll combust.

AI art does not exist. It is an oxymoron.

this kicks ass

So excited to announce that I'll be illustrating "My Thali Is a Symphony" by Anita Yasuda 🌟It's set to come out in Spring 2027 🌈🌿 I'm so honored to be working on such an amazing and important story. Thank you to everyone at @kidscanpress.bsky.social and Anita Yasuda for this wonderful opportunity 🌟

Does anyone have recommendations for iPad stands and other accessories they use while illustrating?

My new #picturebook is OUT! 😊✨ Written by Dr. Aruna Shekar, it's a story about Benji looking for his favourite toy bone and Ria helping him out. 🐶 More art: www.aishwaryatandon.com/where-is-ben... #kidlit #kidlitart #PB ✏️💛

ChatGPT is down? Huh. Crazy how that doesn't affect my life in literally any way at all

Wow..it's really been a year already of no full-time job 😮‍💨 in addition to *waves hands around* all of this.

Respectfully & from the bottom of my heart, if you think anything in the world could justify this, you’re a monster or an idiot or some impressive combination of both.

Here is an ongoing list of LA restaurants that are offering shelter, food, and support to first responders and evacuees: bit.ly/LAaid

New year, new sketchbook. #sketch #sketchbook #Taurus

Multiple companies are discontinuing their blu ray and 4K players. In addition to the obvious, devastating implications for film preservation, it illustrates once again that the ultra-rich will not be happy until everything in our lives is subscription-based. A landlord for every need.

Hope everyone is having a nice break and keeping warm if you're somewhere chilly ❄️☃️ #illustration #illustrator

Never in my life have I seen a technology that creates such anguish and anger in people as generative AI. I have never seen a technology revolt people like this. The tech industry is playing with fire. People are angry, they hate this, they hate the tech industry for doing this.

I'm exhausted of trying to convince folks- industry and consumers both- that Generative AI is not just a neat little toy.

Let me get this straight, don't use gen A/I, don't trace other artists work and claim as your own, don't be an asshole in general. Be kind, respectful and help each other. Us artists got it rough this past year and it would be great if we support each other instead of tearing each other apart.

✨ COVER REVEAL ✨ Today is the winter solstice & the cover reveal of my 1st author-illustrator book, WEIWEI’S WINTER SOLSTICE! Thank you Bicultural Mama for hosting my cover reveal! tinyurl.com/Weiwei-cover (🧵)

It's #artvsartist time again! And for the first time I'm happy with what I’ve done! 😍 Not sure if it's because I've overcome many struggles this year or if I've finally learned to embrace imperfection with open arms. 😄 #kidlitart #art #illustration

I’m never really confident with my environment/background art and I feel like this year I really tried to branch out with my art pieces

#artvsartist 2024! This year, I built my #kidlitart portfolio from the ground up. It wasn’t always easy to stick to it without immediate validation, but I’m so glad I did! Grateful for every little wonder that came my way in 2024. 😺❤️ #artvsartist2024 #childrensbook #illustrator

I don't need to know how many hours I spent playing games this year. That's none of my business.

For Canadians still looking for gifts, the GST/HST holiday means you save on the tax for book gifts! If you're interested, here's a list of the books I've worked on, and where you can find them locally (i.e indie Canadian bookstores) www.indiebookstores.ca/books/?term=... #kidlit #canlit #books

Am I taking crazy pills? Like this is incredibly insulting right? 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

Hi! I’m Abeeha, a Pakistani-Irish illustrator! I make art for children’s books but would also love to do visdev for TV/film. I use shape, colour and texture to make vibrant art that hopefully makes people happy! 💻 abeehatariq.com 📱 insta/twitter: @abeehatariqart ✉️ [email protected]

i feel a lil attacked rn

Back when I used to have more time to paint traditionally 😮‍💨

I am still unemployed and looking for work. I’ve only got enough saved up to get me thru about 4 more months of bills. So please please please let me know if anyone has any work opportunities available! 😣🤞💕

Ive seen a blind man paint, saw a girl with no arms hold a pencil with her feet and a bed bound man draw holding one in his teeth Art has always been for everyone if you can type bullshit into an AI program that will give you more bullshit you can make actual art.

my irrational brain: "you can't find work right now because you've been blacklisted from every industry 😈"

Back when I used to have more time to paint traditionally 😮‍💨

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Always thought Instagram or X/Twitter would be the platforms terrible for my anxiety and self-esteem but it turns out it would be...LinkedIn? 😭
