Who was the fucker who told beginner artists that references are cheating? I can’t believe this ever became an issue

Don't ever let anybody tell you that being a cartoonist/graphic novelist isn't one of the most demanding jobs ever. Here are all the jobs it takes to make a graphic novel: 1) Script Writer 2) Casting Director 3) Costume Designer 4) Actor (all of them) 5) Storyboard Artist 6) Background Designer ...

8yo: want to know why you can always trust a butt? Because it will always do its duty. That’s the kind of gold my kid is spinning in this house and I couldn’t be prouder 🤣

Meet Gray Squirrel in all his anxiety-ridden glory! This book was inspired by Sarah Silverman’s bit about how squirrels can’t find most of the nuts they bury. Their forgotten nuts become THE FOREST! I HAD to write a book about it & that’s how GRAY SQUIRREL LOSES IT! was born. 🔗pre-order now! #kidlit

Congratulations fellow escapader, @kerrymadden.bsky.social !

This book was inspired by my own anxious, constantly interrupting, little gray squirrel. It’s full of humor and animal facts and I can’t wait for you all to meet Grayson T. Squirrel—Gray Squirrel for short—on October 21st this year! @randomhousekids.bsky.social #kidlit #picturebook #edusky
