Artists support artists advent calendar day 15:

Kelly’s artwork and books are the joy this world needs. Every time I see her work, there’s a warm spark of hope rekindled for a kinder, softer world. Her monster series sits on my shelf for when my nephews visit! Give yourself some joy by colouring:

While on a school visit, a 5th grader convinced me to get into Jujutsu Kaisen after all these years and now I have a new favorite edgy anime son. 😂

I’m caught up on both the anime and manga now.

This is your December reminder that it's absolutely acceptable to try and get to a set annual book goal by cramming in as many novellas and cookbooks as you can find before Christmas swallows you up! #booksky 💙📚

Morning Star Rail doodle that got out of hand and I ended up coloring.

#honkaistarrail #starrail #danheng #trailblazer #march7th #stelle
Star rail fan comic. Panel 1: March 7th and Trailblazer/Stelle burst into the Archives, surprising Dan Hang. March 7th: “Dan Heng! Quick! We need you!” Trailblazer/Stelle: “It’s an emergency!” Panel 2: the three walk in a hurry. Trailblazer/Stelle: “You’ll definitely need to transform for this.” Panel 3: same as panel 2 but Dan Hang transforms into his new form. Dan Heng: “Okay.” Panel 4: March 7th points at the box they can’t reach. March 7th: “We can’t reach it and Mr. yang isn’t here to grab it for us.” Trailblazer/Stelle: “I’m banned from climbing the shelves after what happened last time.” Panel 5: Dan Heng looks up at the box in disbelief since he thought something bad had actually happened. Panel 6: same shot as panel 4 but Dan Heng reaches up to grab the box. Dan Heng: “I don’t think this constitutes an emergency…” Trailblazer/Stelle: YAAAAY!! You got it!”

A render of Porygon2 in a swimming pool. It is floating alongside a Psyduck floatie that is carrying a can of lemonade, along with a tube float and a ball in the pool. In the background, a few strands of palm tree leaves are visible behind the pool scene. What happens to a chao when it gets sent away? A 3d render based on the Chao from Sonic Adventures DX when you try to send your Chao away forever. This Chao has a tear in its eye and is holding a bindle to prepare for its new life. 3d render of azumarill in a space suit, floating. surrounded by stars and curious cleffa, azurill is waving to a cleffa floating near by it. they appear to be on a moon, crater-like surface.

It’s been a while since I posted some sketchbook stuff! All of my recent warm up doodles have been Honkai Star Rail related since I got back into the game.

#honkaistarrail #evernight #danheng #danhengpermansorterrae #march7th #trailblazer
Top left drawing is of Trailblazer/Stelle and Dan Heng with Stelle doing the pointing meme at him. It’s styled like it’s one of the photographs taken on their trip. Top right is of an over enthusiastic Stelle and a tired Dan Heng. Bottom left is a scene from the seal game event with Dan Heng wearing the seal glasses asking if there’s a problem while Stell laughs and asks “what’s with the party animal look?!” Bottom right is Stelle forcing Dan Heng into a selfie with Amphoreous scenery in the background for March 7th. Drawing of Evernight Drawing of Dan Hengs new form Drawings of two different reuniting scenes. Top one is a photo finally taken by March 7th with the trio together again. Bottom is Dan Heng finally finding Stelle after being separated for many years.

*Pleasssssssed

Thanks to my agent @allielevick.bsky.social and editor Megan Ilnitzki for loving this story as much as I do ❤️🐍🏺 Can't wait for you all to read it!
#kidlit
BOOK DEAL: Megan Ilnitzki at HarperCollins has acquired, at auction, Medusa's Pet Rock and a second untitled mythology-based picture book by Steph Lau (The Abominable Snow Dancer). When it's Medusa's turn to take the class pet home, she tries to be careful, but inevitably, ZAP. Medusa's teacher won't give up, though, and she's sure that this time, she's found a class pet that even Medusa can enjoy. Publication is planned for fall 2026; Alexandra Levick at Writers House sold world rights. A headshot of a smiling woman with a felt plushie snake curled around her neck. Below is a chubby toddler Medusa, trying to share her juice box with her pet rock.

I’m in love with this guy now
Six self-portraits by Joseph Ducreux (1735-1802). 1. He wears a red coat, sits in profile with gods head turned to the viewer, His mouth open and his right hand wrapped around his body and his fingers spread in a “wait” gesture. 2. Wearing a tall black hat and brown coat, one hand on a cane, again in profile, he grins wryly and points at the viewer. 3. Black hat, brown coat, finger to lips going “shh.” 4. Another finger to lips shhh, no hat this time, and in a round frame. 5. Red coat, white kerchief on his head, he stands stretching hoods arms and yawning. 6. Black hat, brown coat, gasping expression, the boys a time bomb

I can’t recommend enough the power of switching mediums when you’re feeling stuck or insecure artistically.

Heck, even just switching the brand/type of pen or pencil or brush you use can be enough to shake out the nerves and help drawing become fun again! ✍️

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

Page from a daily Hobonichi planner dated December 19. A comic is drawn in ink. PANEL 1 Gale clips Robin into his car seat. Robin: we did fire drills today! Gale: yeah? PANEL 2 Robin is in the backseat while Gale drives. Robin: we stand in line and go outside and teacher says our names. Gale: that’s a good thing to practice. PANEL 3 Gale is confused. Robin: we also did code red! PANEL 4 Full width panel. A wide view of a line of cars in traffic at night. Robin: teacher puts a doorstopper on… Robin: we turn out the lights… Robin: go to the bathroom and be very quiet. PANEL 5 Robin gets out of the car with Gale’s help. Robin: it’s for tornadoes. Robin: or bad guys. PANEL 6 Gale looks down at Robin. PANEL 7 Robin looks up, beaming. PANEL 8 Gale kneels down to put an arm around Robin. Gale: that is also a good thing to practice.
