How on top of things am I? I'm already crafting interview answers for a picture book that won't be out until May of next year. My 2025 self is being very kind to my 2026 self.

I'm just throwing this out there, I'm looking for illustration work. At this point I'm open to freelance, part time, or full time. I'm in NYC. I'm experience in children's books, tabletop gaming, and toys. Anyone got any leads they're willing to share?

Thank you again, @saralkruger.bsky.social for the feature on #PBfirstlines. It’s great to see IF A BUMBLEBEE LANDS ON YOUR TOE there. If you haven’t discovered it yet, Sara’s blog does a wonderful study of first lines of so many picture books and what makes them sing. 🎶 🐝 #kidlitmegafeed

one of the fun things about working in children’s publishing was meetings where people would go ‘we’re seeing strong VHC growth this quarter, let’s come up with some ideas to build on that’ and everyone nods seriously and VHC stands for Very Hungry Caterpillar

Let's make childless adults reading picture books a thing. Why should they miss out?

THIS. Anyone who's had any experience of working with cheap outsourced work (which is what AI essentially is) knows full well that it becomes the much more expensive option, because you need to hand-hold and redo much of the work in-house.
