Ari is a rare gem, generous with her time, thoughtful and challenging (in the best way). I’ll miss working with her and expect she’s got great things on the horizon

Ari is just amazing. This is someone genuinely committed to artists and sharing their stories. We could (and probably should) fill the timeline with compliments for her here. If any publisher follows me here, please hire her!

part of a lowkey collab project that i hope sees the light of day, one day 🌴✨

Hearing there might be another wave of newcomers? Welcome! 💙❤️ For any illustrators and/or designers Here’s my starter pack of hiring art/design/creative directors.✨ go.bsky.app/Hxoz9KX

The future of publishing is bright.

I can't believe this bullshit. How? Just...HOW?

A bit of hopeful news: www.thebookseller.com/news/penguin...

oh, ok.

I need Milton to chill and go back to Tropical state asap.

Hey I’m available for work, portfolio link in my bio! Available to start immediately. Please help spread the word 🙏 🙏

Been a bit since I draw anything for myself. :)

@analiacabello.bsky.social Analíaaaaaaa! Welcome 🥳🎉🥳🎉

Being an artist is swinging on the daily between feeling like an omnipotent god who can will their very ideas into creation and an absolute fraud who can barely hold a pencil.

In 2016, President Barack Obama appointed Dr. Carla Hayden to be the 14th Librarian of Congress. The Librarian of Congress serves a 10 year term. In 2026, the next President of the United States will name the 15th Librarian of Congress. Not that you really needed another reason to vote.

My partner in crime is brilliant.

As if I needed another reason not to like math. Here's also litebox's rate finder if you ever feel on the fence about an offer: litebox.info/2019/08/02/w...

Been a while! A drawing I did to indulge a bit in the midst of work. I guess I will be posting all of my future work over here for the time being. Who knows where we will be a month from now.

When your partner has conditioned you to have amazing coffee every afternoon for years and then leaves for a work trip and you have to drink shitty coffee for 5 whole days. 😩

I love this display with all my heart

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m a PuertoRican illustrator who enjoys playing with color and texture. I’m always on the lookout for new work in covers, PBs or GNs! Represented by @ksonnack.bsky.social www.erickalugo.com

A couple years ago I quit my streaming and music subs and put the money towards Patreon and indie creator subs instead, if you’re not making much use of those big services consider putting that money towards indie content!

Even if you don't touch your tumblr hardly ever, be sure you "opt out" of 3rd party sharing to keep you off AI models. Or delete the blog. Whatever floats your fancy. Blog settings --> Visibility -->Prevent 3rd Party Sharing

Reposting a short experiment I did last year.

PSA: Don't forget to flip the canvas before you send it.

Comics in 2024 #4: Last year, my 2nd fave 2022 comic was republished by @silversprocket.bsky.social. I can now confirm they did better than me just printing a digital download. Anyway, I still love this cosy, smart read & dig the new epilogue. Excited now for anything by @noseturqoise.bsky.social. 🦇

Thrilled to be able to share this cover I did for Lynn Buchanan's The Dollmakers! It’s not every day that both of my favourite concepts get picked for the same cover, I can’t wait for more people to read this book! It will be out on 8.13.24 Many thanks to AD Richard Aquan!

It’s my birthday! INPRNT has a big sale going already, use code TBTF2TQU for an extra 10% off all week! Link in bio for that and other ways to support my work, always appreciated 💛

Me yelling MORE CARTOONY at myself until everything is properly visually developed

I hate HOAs.

Hey #kidlit #illustrators I’m looking for artists who can bring a textured commercial edge to a sports-focused illustrated chapter book series—think animation vibes. Respond here w/ images and a link to your folio. Please no emails or DMs on other platforms. This open call is a Bluesky exclusive.

It truly is.

Note to self: Do not look at the art of leading illustrators in your field the day before a deadline.

We'll be in SF tomorrow! Come on by if you are around :)

Did you know that a cashew nut is actually the seed of cashew apple fruit? These fruits are native to South America and very popular in Brazil. I used to eat them straight out of the trees when I was a kid. Anyway, maybe you'd like this print with a cashew apple in it!

"Only Yesterday" truly is one of the most underrated Ghibli movies ever. If you appreciate slow-paced/introspective movies, it is highly recommended.

Random character. Had a cool california teenage girl from the 90’s in mind. Probably named Cassie or Anna or Abby. 🤔

[SORTIE] LEFTSTAR & L’ÉTRANGE PÉRIPÉTIE par @noseturquoise.bsky.social Un album de fantasy très original sur les responsabilités liées à la création… qui rappellera sûrement des souvenirs à celles et ceux qui se retrouvent enfermés en dehors de leurs propres mondes. SORTIE EN MARS 2024 !

I’ve been working on this one on and off, in between jobs. Coincidentally, my agency started their own version of inktober and the first prompt is “bookworm”. Happy coincidence! Btw, I noticed a bit of a spike on follows and reposts so thank you to everyone new around here, means a lot! #ABLArtfest

still unsure of what to post here, so for now, LS in colors!

Working on illustrating a picture book right now but I would love to find more freelance opportunities to round out this fall. editorial, books, covers, character design, murals, packaging, here for it all! hanging my lil shingle out 👋 www.meghunt.com

I say this with love: Why, oh why, dear authors, do you so often forget to tag the illustrator of your gorgeous cover in the main post? Mentioning them in a subsequent thread is still nice but not nearly as impactful as doing that on that first post. ❤️
