Hi Bluesky! I'm Yury, a queer Guatemalan-American freelance illustrator and comic artist. I love characters being emotional together in ridiculous situations. Throw in some fantasy or supernatural and I'm your gal! Rep'd by @litagentsaritza.bsky.social

👾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.

We loved seeing everyone's fall festivities last week (the way that it overlapped with some of your #kidlitpostcards was great! 👌).

And if you missed last week, it's never too late participate in #ABLArtFest! You can even combine prompts if you're feeling inspired. Just have fun! 🍂🔮

A short comic inspired by seeing kids having fun with pimple patches! It had been a while since I did anything in my sketchbook or in finished inks so this was very refreshing to do.

My fellow comic writers and novel authors, what percentage of your work time do you spend writing/editing, and what percentage is hustling new work and promoting existing work? Let’s call this the creating:marketing ratio. I think mine might be off.

Annette in the dancer costume works on her sword posture with help from Felix in his academy uniform. Sylvain stands to the side with a pointer stick beneath Felix's chin, annoying the latter. Annette is focused, Levin sword raised in the air, aided by Felix. The trio stands in front of a green chalkboard with a faded lion shiloutte (as if the lion has been erased). Text on the chalkboard reads: Blue Lions Big Bang, Interest check August 1st to 22nd.)
