13, Rue del Percebe es mi cómic preferido de Francisco Ibáñez por el formato que tiene con la casa. He investigado antecedentes, obras anteriores que tuviesen la misma forma de contar una historia.

Voy a ponerlas desde la más antigua, pero antes de nada, el primer 13, Rue del Percebe en 1961:

you have to believe that love pays off in your personal practice even if it's unquantifiable. love, moreso than skill, does not generate an easily defined product. the love you put into something is not wasted even if you cannot see immediately "where it went." love artmaking for the sake of art.

Merry December! It’s the last #kidlitartpostcard of the year, so I thought I’d send the year out in style with this posh little caroling quartet. I’m on the lookout for new projects in both PB and MG. Portfolio kirstenmcgonigal.com

Cozy Children’s Book style illustration showing 2 mice, a hedgehog, and a mole Christmas caroling at night in a winter, snow covered forest. They are caroling at the home of 3 chipmunks. The chipmunks live in a big tree with a door and glowing windows in the trunk. A mother chipmunk stands in the doorway with light spilling out through the open door. 2 little chipmunks, a boy and a girl, peep out through an upstairs window. The little boy chipmunk is waving excitedly to the carolers below, and the little girl chipmunk is clasping her paws in delight. The ground and bushes are covered with snow. Once of the mouse carolers is standing a bit in front of the others, mouth wide open in song with his hand gesturing dramatically.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day, I’m Mike and I love creating fun, character-driven work, spooky or no.
I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social and I'm especially looking for middle grade cover work.

In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The text on the bottom reds "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber @ CMA."

#Kidlit Friends! Good and bad news. A Friend in Germany bought three copies of my book's English version (yay) and guess what, the title is misspelled 😂 (not yay)

I hope whoever he gives these to can have a laugh at it but find the story fun enough to buy copies for their friends 🫠

Check this out guys! Hope you enjoy it, it took me way too long to do but I think it is serviceable.

We take you to some of the spots we see in my book, the whole path covers around 3,5km so you can also get a workout from it lol
