These have been showing up

This month, per usual, I needed to pull together a selection of illustrators to propose in-house for a new series of graphic readers. I scrolled #kidlitartpostcard and included several of the illustrators I found there. This hashtag, here on Bluesky, is a functioning professional ecosystem. 💙❤️

Good news everyone! The wait is almost over! Flashes for Bluesky is now available for free pre-order on the App Store. 🔥 Pre-"order" now (it's free) & get it the moment it launches! apps.apple.com/de/app/flash...

I think I post this one every year but here it is again! Happy happy hearts day to all you hammies out there #illustration #gouache #hamsters

The endpaper paintings for my picture book *Neither* will be in this show at the Eric Carle Museum of picture book art in MA! carlemuseum.org/explore-art/...

I too, will sum my state of mind with a comic panel or two or three (I used my own too, hehe)

I feel like summoning certain themes to my Bluesky, so here goes: #librarylife #frogandtoad #Kidlit #comics #theforce

Memory unlocked, this was on my Trapper Keeper in elementary school! Artist: Christian Reese Lassen, who is apparently self-taught?! I am now down a rabbit hole of cosmic rainbow dolphin paintings 🧠 ✨ 🌈 🐬 #illustration

You can usually tell my mood by my phone’s wallpaper. Cover by Takashi Okazaki

I thought it was high time, now or never, before the light was put out, to break the spell in which I had so long been bound.

Very pleased to announce that Only, The Bird Who Liked Being Alone has won an award *selected by kids*!!! Thank you to the first grade at Cook School!

Work in progress, still in Kansas #wizardofoz #gouache

Lil homage to WW Denslow. I’ll post the whole thing when it’s light out again #ifyoucaretofindme

Kansas

Warming up with my version of Dorothy. Sometimes just sitting in the studio helps jumpstart ideas #illustration ✏️

When I got to sign ONLY at McNally Jackson and then I bought some books and pens. Very good day

Hey #booksky here’s what I’m reading today. This might take me all year because it is chock-full of words and and it is delightful so far 🎨
