Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is from Bia entdeckt Afrika published by Weber Verlag in Switzerland. It is a wonderful book about a girl whose father is a doctor in Burkina Faso. I loved painting this book!

I am currently sketching my next two picture books! ✍️😍

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

This is why I wish we had a Cartoonist's Guild. Not a collective. Not a union (legally not possible). But a guild with collective bargaining (and insurance omg).

But who of us has the time to maintain one??? We are kept so damn busy bleeding our fingers dry for publishers who have NO CLUE.
I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.

Sweet winter squirrels from A Warm Winter Tail from Arbordale Publishing! #kidlitart #sciart #squirrel

We just had a squirrel get into our house. The cats were interested and terrified. We managed to direct it out the front door unscathed.

The White Christmas costume exhibit is so fun! This dress was designed by Edith Head! She was a self-described cat lady with 8 cats, each named after an Oscar she won!✍️❤️📘 #urbansketching #urbansketchers
