@galegalligan.bsky.social thank you for the shout out of mole & otter 😭
but everyone MUST read their graphic novel FREESTYLE!! the charming art, creative panels, fun/energetic story… what more could you ask for? only another book by them, FRESH START! (which is still on my tbrl 🫣)

big rec: otter carries on!
adored tatsukawa's "mole is not alone," following a mole who's anxious about going to a party (and ends up bowing out, to my delight); this otter is used to carrying a bunch of heavy rocks around but, spoiler, does not have to keep doing that

My first time doing this #artistsearch, but we’re looking for an #inker to help out with the second book in a middle grade #graphicnovel series. The style leans scribbly and cartoonish for a young audience.
Please reply here with image samples and a link to your portfolio!
