Hurry girls, don’t miss your cue! Or else! 🩰🫟 #kidlitart #illustration

It undermines the fact that good writing takes work. Good writers don't spawn out of magic mushrooms, skills honed and perfected. You gotta write your way to the goodness. There are no shortcuts.

Updating my #profilepic ! Not much has changed since the last one, just longer hair and cooler earrings. Oh, and the oozing brain monster, that’s new too 👁️ #kidlitart

Biiiig snowflakes in Brighton Beach from a few weeks ago - finally finished the drawing! ☃️ hopefully with enough time left before everyone moves on to springtime 😅🪻

Happy post-thanksgiving pre-holiday crunch to all those back at their desks today 😅 may your coffee be abundant and snacks protein-filled

It should be noted that the original person who said this is @mollycrabapple.bsky.social - artist and activist. I find it odd that her name got cropped out of the original screenshot (from an article in LA Times, btw) and the uncredited version is the one that makes the viral rounds.

Chugging along ✏️ loving this page ✏️
