👾NEW DEAL! Thrilled to announce that illustrator client @yurygdraws.bsky.social will be illustrating a new chapter book series by @ellenpotter.bsky.social. Get ready for MONSTER LEAGUE hitting shelves Spring 2027! #kidlit #childrensbooks (cc: @andreabrownlit.bsky.social @jvnla.bsky.social)
Illustrated graphic showing a cute, happy, monster peeking out from behind a black and green shape with a screenshot of a deal announcement with two headshots. The one on the left is of a smiling, white woman with blond hair. The one on the right is of a smirking, Latina with short, curly black hair and light pink glasses. The text reads: Erica Finkel at Abrams has bought, in an exclusive submission, world English rights to Monster League, a chapter book series by Ellen Potter (left), illustrated by Yury Guzman (right). The story follows a benchwarmer kid who becomes the unlikely coach of a team of misfit monsters, bringing the warm and optimism of Ted Lasso to a humorous, underdog tale. Publication will begin in spring 2027; Alice Tasman at Jean V. Naggar Agency represented the Author, and Saritza Hernández at Andrea Brown Literary Agency represented the illustrator in the two-book deal.

#ChatsByTheCauldron - This is my fourth prompt for #ABLArtFest… and maybe my favorite?! I really love how the leaves turned out for the background and these characters are some of my favorites. I wonder what they’re all chatting about? 🍂🍁

A cut paper image. Two ghosts in the foreground hiding in front of an old dilapidated barn are watching an alien beam down from a flying saucer. There are two more aliens in the flying saucer. The background is a starry sky.

The Hearth (9/21)
A comic page with two large main splash panels separated by a series of much smaller panels. The smaller panels alternate between illustrations of the plants on which different western russian/northeastern finnish plant remedies are based and close up shots of a kettle, a boiling pot full of rags, a hand wrapping a rag around a stick, a bouquet of dried flowers, a mug, a knife cutting fabric, a mortar and pestle crushing herbs, an arm with an arrow wound. The first large panel is mostly blue, and shows a woman in a skirt (Marika) dragging another woman (Ása) on a sled through the snowy forest toward a cabin. The second large panel shows Marika, a blonde woman with short hair, dressing Ása’s wound with a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. from the Hearth by Lainey Williams

Hi #portfolioday! I’m Lainey Williams, a cartoonist and illustrator. I love to write and draw queer romance, surreal fantasy, and strange horror comics.

Color comic page showing a woman in front of a forest of trees lit red and shadowed blue by the setting sun. She looks out at the sun, then turns back toward her sled filled with pinecones. As she does, there’s an insert panel of a goose’s wings pressing down in flight. The woman, Marika, turns back toward the setting sun to see the goose’s silhouette. Her stomach rumbles. She grips her bow and begins to short-ski up a snowy hill toward the goose and the setting sun. A page from the webcomic Crash Coral, written by Randall Avilez and drawn by Lainey Williams. Panel 1: a teen girl in a sweatshirt pours syrup on her pancakes. “I—I think—No, I am gay. I’m gay.” Panel 2: her dad shoves food in his mouth while her mom sips coffee. They’re in a diner. Dad: …ok. Mom: Are you…Did you realize this only recently? Is…someone bullying you or something? Panel 3: Coral, the teen, slides down on her vinyl seat, looking frustrated. Coral: No no one’s bullying em. I woulda just punched them. Dad: Right. Coral: But yeah, I just found out or whatever at the show…on friday? Panel 4: Coral looks up at the ceiling fan turning above her head. Coral: And I think I’m in love with ricki… Panel 5: Her parents stare at her, frozen for a moment. Dad’s mouth is still full of food. Panel 6: Same composition, but Dad is grinning arrogantly and Mom is rolling her eyes with a smile. Mom: Don’t even say it. Dad: Wasn’t gonna— Mom: I don’t know how you even knew. Comic page showing three girls walking into a mock Guitar Center called Monster Music. Panel 1: From left to right, they say “Wow!” “You guys seriously haven’t been to Monster Music before?” “Nope!” Panel 2: Mikey, the white girl on the left, says “They have everything!” Kira: “Including a backup generator.” None of them acknowledge the huge floaty rift in reality crossing through the ceiling Panel 3: Kira looks on as the other two girls wander away. Kira: We still have a lot of stuff to unpack… Daniela: I just wanna look around for a second. Mikey: Yeah, be right back. A comic page without text, rendered in bright pinks, cyans, oranges and yellows. P1: a roadside diner at sunset with a pink mountain range in the background. IT’s called the redwood diner, ad the sign is backed by a stylized cloud with a sun peeking out behind it. P2: Two white women sit at one of the tables at the diner. One has long brown hair in an updo and is wearing a pink dress. She’s in the middle of putting a fry in her mouth. Her friend is looking over at her. She has wavy, short green hair and a trench coat on. P3: View over the girls’ heads. An orange doorless jeep is visible pulling off of the mountain highway into the parking lot of the diner. P4-5: The two women run down behind the diner into the redwoods that surround it. There’s an insert panel of a blonde white man in a letterman’s jacket shouting at them—apparently the driver of the jeep. P6: The brown-haired girl runs ahead, but looks over her shoulder at the green-haired girl.

The Hearth (6/21)
A colored comic page that’s mostly a full splash. A woman stands before a snow-covered frozen lake at sunset, raising a bow and arrow over her head as a goose flies in her direction. Two inset panels show the underside of the goose as it flies and the arrow speeding through the air. between these panels is a sound effect: thwip. The last panel/section shows the goose has transformed into a goose-winged woman, pierced by the arrow through one wing, falling through the air above the surrounding hills and red clouds.
