The hot story of Metamorphic Rocks brought to you by Marble & Gneiss! #kidlitart #childrensbooks #adobefresco #geology

In case you need this gneiss pun right now. This goes out to the rock nerds. #geology #kidlitart #adobefresco

Hi, I’m Pebble! Rock Reporter for The Geologic Times! #kidlitart #adobefresco #geology

Here's the booklet cover from my upcoming #SXSW2025 workshop, "Draw the Future"! NOTE: If you draw every item on the back cover 100 times in a row, when you look up, you'll be in the future! - - - #futurism #designthinking #adobefresco --- schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/...

This #StayWoke T-shirt was the best thing I designed at Twitter. I was helping out the Blackbirds Employee Resource Group with their graphic design needs. Janet Ikpa patiently explained to me what Woke meant, & why it should not say Stay Awake. 1/2

I drew some rocky alter egos for myself and the author, Paige Towler, for our book “Talking Rocks & Minerals” #kidlitart #illustration #geology - - - www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/772189...

Pebble’s first assignment is to interview Granite and get the inside scoop on Igneous rock. It’s a pretty hot story, due to all the lava. #kidlitart

The book follows Pebble, Rock Reporter for the Geologic Times, as she travels the world, uncovering the hidden stories of Rocks and Gems. And wherever she goes, she takes her notebook, to capture all the details! #kidlit #childrensbooks #kidlitart

A small bit of personal joy: I’m officially a Children’s Book Illustrator! My first book launches on July 1st. It’s called Talking Rocks and Minerals. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/772189... #childrensbooks #geology - - - #childrensbooks #kidlit

My #vision/mission doodle from 2 years ago still holds up: “Help kids feel & be creative!” “Keep kids drawing!” I’m in a better place to do it now than then, and the need is greater than ever. - - - #education #creativity #design

Getting ready for my “Draw the Future” workshop at #SXSW2025. We’ll use drawing as a tool to imagine future-friendly products & experiences. All drawing levels are welcome! We’ll keep it more utopian than dystopian, because I think we all need to chart some paths to a brighter future right now!
