I felt so happy (and weirdly patriotic?) to see so many people out protesting in my city today. ❤️

It's insane how hard a toddler will fight against their bedtime, just to fall asleep as soon as you leave the room. Like guy I've been telling you for the last 30 minutes that you're sleepy.

No kings

Thank you anyone who is trying to make the world a less crazy place. Today, and all days.

Happy #KidLitPostcard day!! I'm Danielle and I'd love to work on your next kid lit project! ✨

I made a presentation for work with some subtle animations in it for a lil razzle dazzle and the boss was so impressed he asked if I used AEye. 🫠🫠

This has been a season of not drawing much and that's ok. I'm spending time with my son, tackling some house projects that will make my family more comfortable, and actually putting things up on the walls. I'm creating a nurturing and cozy space that will be ready for me when I can draw again. ✨️

They're selling A EYE image prompts now. I don't even have the words. 🙃

Tell Me About Juneteenth is officially out TODAY! ✨ I was so excited to get this package in the mail. It’s one thing to work on an illustrations for months, but seeing it as a real life book in your hands is an indescribable feeling that never gets old!

📣 I figured out how to make our Picture Book Building Blocks Class hybrid! We are offering a select number of virtual tickets, so grab yours while you still can. 📣 Come hang out with me and some awesome writers on Tues, May 20th 6-8pm MT and learn all about PBs and get your manuscript workshopped!

About 2 weeks ago now my FIL completely butchered my mature Japanese maple in my backyard. It was my favorite part of the yard. I really want to be over it, but I'm still really sad every time I see it. I know there's way more important stuff going on in the world, but it really hurts. 😓

So, I know that the Met Gala gives big Hunger Games energy. That analogy is warranted given everything going on in the world. However, I’d like to take a moment to gently remind people that the event really does support artisans, public history, and preservation. It’s not just about celebs.

I really want to see Sinners, but movie theaters gross me out now and there's no drive-ins here.

I finally finished Pixar's Win or Lose and omg that show had no business being that good. ❤️

I refuse to give AI the ✨ emoji. It’s already coming for my livelihood. It can’t have my favorite emoji. Please be advised that I will continue to use ✨ to mean *ooooh it’s magic* or *the emoji that came before this one is now shiny and special*.

I'm watching Wish with the little one and when Magnifico is making the staff one of the ingredients is Tollen's potion. That felt really specific so I looked it up and found this. Anyway to whoever added that tidbit I say, "Neat! And I see what you did there." K bye.

Ok, I need Pretty, Pretty Please, I Don't Want to be A Magical Girl to get picked up for a full show IMMEDIATELY. Please and thank you youtu.be/zf7bsmT-Jn0?...

I just want to scream at the top of my lungs, but I would startle my toddler and my cat. 🫠

So I made pork sinigang for dinner tonight and almost flew too close to the sun...I forgot to use the big pot.
