Hey #kidlit artists - sometimes you see art train posts, where it’s like ‘post an art with a cat in it’. You’re supposed to quote the previous post, and add your art to your post. Don’t add your art as a comment/reply - that’s not how this works & few people will see it that way.

Beautiful, also, is the sun Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people

I'm still offering these gouache painting commissions if that's something that might interest you! 😊

With all the ceramics I forgot to post about my new and returning holographic stickers!! If you missed the sleeping critters plates maybe these can be a consolation prize?? and for the tortie lovers, the galaxy tortie is back!

Hey everyone! There's some #zelda art Lalam just looked into/noticed & I don't think I've EVER seen the one of the Links before. Does anyone know if anyone ever got these online? Could anyone out there get these online? They're so good, they shouldn't be lost to time! gamingway.fr/japan-expo-2...

For anyone that wants to easily find and ignore AI art and pfps (inspired by a post I saw from @nanelsonart.bsky.social ), I highly recommend the AI labeler bsky.app/profile/aimo... . You can set it up to your preference!

should go without saying but if you follow me with a very obvious AI generated pfp, you're getting blocked.

A cool #comic series to check out! Briar @boom-studios.com has been a fun/interesting read so far! Excited to read more! Here is a fan animation I created based on one of the covers for issue 6! Christopher Cantwell, Alex Lins, @luisnct.bsky.social @andworld.bsky.social @danipendergast.bsky.social

For those who need it, I've updated my #Uplift feed: bsky.app/profile/debb... Hand-curated by yours truly, criteria unapologetically subjective.

This is very urgent. The UK government is planning to change copyright law. If you are an artist, author, musician or work in the creative industry please read this. www.chrishaughton.com/blog/ai-and-...

And...there will be a LOT of things that we'll collectively need to resist in the near future. It will be difficult and dangerous to do so. AI is the easiest, lowest-stakes thing in the world to resist. You can just...not do it. You can say "I don't like this. It's bad."

Publishers aren’t just looking for beautiful illustrations; they want artists who can bring stories to life in a way that resonates with young readers, and know HOW to create publishing specific artwork. Thread: #kidlit
