🎨🎁 Why not shop small this season, and support an independent artist instead of multi-billionaires?

LOTS of new #artforsale in my shop, priced to sell! You can buy a piece & then watch how it was made in real-time on Gab 'n' Doodle, or vice-versa (related info in the comments ⬇️)

Argh almost forgot that today's friday and that means it's time for #colour_collective - Here's a cheetah from my #illustration archives. I believe there are bits of #CCOldGold on her.

I love the ebb & flow in the SCBWI Coffee Lounge, with people dropping by different-themed (virtual) tables to chat during #scbwisummer25. My art director from @simonkids.bsky.social (Laurent Linn) is hanging out in the Lounge right now, & there's still room at the table. Join us at 4p PDT/7p EDT!
Three virtual tables labeled "Picture Book Illustrators" and "Picture Book Writers/Illustrators" show participants represented by profile images or initials. The first table is full with six visible participants and a "+5" icon. The second and third tables each have six participants and "+4" icons, with "Join" buttons underneath.

I'm Debbie Ridpath Ohi, 🇨🇦 #KidLit author & illustrator. More about me & my work: DebbieOhi.com. What I'm working on now: @work.debbieohi.com.

Illustrated book cover for I'M BUSY by Debbie Ridpath Ohi featuring a blissful young girl hugging a book, sitting cross-legged on a pile of books, surrounded by giant piles of books. Beside her is a white dog holding a book in its mouth, looking expectant. Illustrated book cover with the title "I'M BUSY" in large red letters. A worried-looking pink flamingo and a small brown potato character stand near the top of the text. Below, a girl with pigtails struggles to carry a stack of books and papers, walking through a floor scattered with more papers and school supplies.

Hung out for a couple of hours in the #scbwisummer25 (virtual) Coffee Lounge with Priscilla Burris, Denney Pham, @paulozelinsky.com, Thao Nguyen, Cecilia Yung, & others who dropped by. SO MUCH FUN. It's Denney's 1st time attending a @scbwi.bsky.social event! #KidLit
Screenshot of a virtual meeting titled “Picture Book Illustrators,” showing six participants: Priscilla Burris, Denney Pham, Paul Zelinsky, Thao Nguyen, Cecilia Yung, and Debbie Ohi. Each person appears in their own video tile, smiling, with varied backgrounds including artwork, bookshelves, and windows.
