I have a book that has not survived the query trenches. BUT I am going to finish it anyway. I am finishing out all 14 spreads that I have been dieing to complete. They are part of a search-and-find book. Maybe i'll break them up? a quirky calendar?Puzzles? Idk! Suggestions welcome #kidlitart #kidlit

Do other artists directors collect a list of illustrators like this? I feel like this is great way to organize things
I'm 50+ queries deep in the query trenches how about you? Nothing yet, but lots of great feedback and several agents passing me to their friends. #kidlit #query #publishing
Have the pitch events for #kidlit completely died out? I got my first picture book contract from #PBpitch back when Twitter wasn't a garbage pile.
I'm reviving/reposting some snow related content since most of us are snowed in. This is from a comic series I created awhile back and I'm not totally sure what to do with it. I made 50 in all, Maybe a gift book? #comic #snow #kidlitart
Thank you!
Thank you!
black and white fantasy map depicting a continent with four portions of mainland that almost shape an X. It is crossed by 6 big mountain ranges and has a giant mountain. Rivers, hills, plains forests swamps and a desert. a big jungle up north. cities scattered across the lands. big scorching marks of corrupted terrain here and there. there's a big crater behind crooked pointy mountains where a dark castle reigns
🧭 Helderon is one of my first map commissions and still one of my favourites. Commissioned by @xezz.bsky.social in 2021 for an RPG stream. 🗺️

Hah me too. I think many are. In the very least they have a lot of support in writing from their editors.
Would I illustrate or ghostwrite a celebrity picture book? YES, I couldn't afford not to. But this is the satire I'm here for.
