Hey #portfolioday, I’m Kelly McKernan (they/them), a fine artist and illustrator painting in watercolor and acryla gouache. My work is inspired by dark fantasy, art nouveau, surrealism, and pop culture. I enjoy creating art for books, comics, games, editorial, and galleries.

It’s weird that Nancy and Johnathan are a couple IRL but have zero chemistry on screen. Anyway, this scene was maddening to me because these dummies should’ve been stacking the chairs on top of the table instead of breaking up. I couldn’t think of anything else!

Ahh, help, I need to think of people who could write me recommendation letters for grad school applications! Deadlines are coming up and I’ve totally put this off. For a MFA in visual arts/painting/illustration… who should I be reaching out to?

Ok time to do grad school applications… I’m so nervous!

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

I’m not saying names but I’m side-eying all the men drawing women with teeny tiny heads and giant T&A in comics.

It’s 1999 again and the ✨family computer✨ has been reinstated! My kiddo (11) has been showing an interest in 3D modeling, animation, coding, and making games. I decided it was time to invest in the proper setup and get this kid started in a field I know she’d excel in. She’s thrilled (I am too)!

They put microplastics in all of nature that bore us. In our blood. Our brains. Our wombs. Out ballsacks.
"But how can we put microplastics in the soul?" they asked, and so ChatGPT was born.

I firmly believe we're going to survive this era -- broken, hobbled, with decades of rebuilding that will not be finished in my lifetime -- but we are going to survive and every asshole who collaborated in the effort to destroy this country will forever wear the stain of it.

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Hey I know this is probably obvious but super duper don't use AI marketing tools to attempt to sell or pitch books, are you out of your mind?
They're *books.* you sell them to people who *read.* have some respect for their ability to spot slop.
