Reading Carlo Collodi's original Pinocchio - the wood Geppetto received for Pinocchio was an animated piece of wood! So I played with that. #ifgeppettowasalazywoodworker

All those on Whidbey Island who haven't visited Koneksi Gallery yet - do it! They're carrying my cards, along with so much other great art, great vibes and a piano! 4777 Commercial Street in Clinton.

Some sheep sketches and the tree that was forced low to the ground to give them shelter? It's not an unhappy tree - it still grows upwards - just a fascinating one. Oh and intense marker from previous pages!

When you're broken open, brittle, empty, fragile - God can come in? Question mark?

What luck to have construction in town right as I'm working on a truck book! Also funny to interact with the confused construction workers (the tables are turned ha HA) - I really did start to understand the fascination my little wards have for these things. Cool.

I've been working on a graphic novel submission together with an author that introduces wisdom from Chinese medicine to the middle grade audience: YAY!!! It's been a fantastic collab so far. Her website is joyouslake.earth

Here’s what became of my playing the other day - I added colored pencil and a bit of digital magic :)

Spring energy today!! Thoroughly happy trying out my new nibs with my favorite #noodlersink and homemade beet ink (a beautiful magenta color). Oh I also used some sumi-e brushes for that text. #speedballsketchingnibs #artstudiointhesun #illustratorsonbkuesky #dowhatmakesyoucomealive #spring

Playing with paint and pencils today - trying to get back into things after moving (houses, but I suppose platforms as well!)

I miss having a place to post what I’m working on, so I’m going to start doing it here. Here is one from last year, as a warm-up (with sweat pants how appropriate).

I've been experiencing major social media decision paralysis. Sorry for that. I'm not even that old, but I miss meeting people in coffee shops while drawing . . . who's with me? I appreciate the internet but it's a hard place to be authentic.

Still learning how to use this app . . . Moved here from Instagram where I was @annamakesbooks, for those who I've met in the world, or in Instagram world! Ha ha this is like the island where all the bedraggled Instagrammers are arriving and looking for lost friends - I'm heeeeeeeere!!!!!

Hello Bluesky!
I'm menstruating today and thinking about what other animals do who menstruate: do they just bleed all over? Turns out very few species lose their uterine linings - most of them reabsorb them. Aren't we special.
