Art Style update!
Due to health issues (I am all better now🤗) I haven’t posted much but it gave me time to explore combining traditional paint styles with my digital style while I write my first book.
What do you think?

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

Do I have a desk to draw #kidlit ?
Yes...
Do I ever use affirmation desk?
No...
Why?

The volume and caliber of pitches to #skypitch today proves Bluesky has the talent and logistics to keep holding events like this. Every pitch has helped prove a concept and helps make a strong argument for more industry people adopting the platform. 🩵

You are all awesome!

For those wondering: I'm not participating in #Skypitch but am helping spread the word because some people still associate pitch parties w/Twitter 🙄.

To convince them otherwise: help events like this grow. boringstorybook.com/skypitch

Pls follow @skypitch.bsky.social & help boost?

#skypitch One stormy night the family dog runs off in fear. That same night Matilda learns that her dog isn’t the only animal she needs to be brave to rescue. Can just one little girl help these animals and the mysterious moving lighthouse that never seems to stay in one spot?

#skypitch All Mr.wart wanted was to read. He especially wanted to read since the air was growing colder. However, when he stumbles upon lose tadpoles that need to escape before winter happens can he help? Can he leave his cozy home and brave the coming winter? FOR WINTER IS COMING and fast…

Guidelines for our #skypitch picturebook pitch party. 🥳
Feel free to post pitches until midnight tonight:

boringstorybook.com/skypitch/
#SKYPITCH GUIDELINES To keep it clear and simple, our 1st #skypitch event is for PICTURE BOOKS only. Bluesky has a character limit of 300, so you have to craft a tight pitch that fits the limit. Pitch each story in one Bluesky post using the #SkyPitch hashtag! (Agented authors should include the #agented hashtag.) Agents and Editors on BlueSky might read the pitches, and like the post, inviting the author to send them the manuscript in a query. Only agents and editors should like a pitch. Please reply to pitches you want to support, but refrain from hitting the heart to like the pitch unless you are inviting the author to query. To keep people's timeline free of repeat posts, we're also asking for people to refrain from reposting. This helps isolate agent interactions for the authors and filters out engagements that aren't requests. If an agent or editor does like your post, check their submission guidelines and do your research before submitting a query! DON'T just DM an agent or editor, check to see how they would like you to submit. You can pitch up to three picture books, but only pitch each one once. If you are an author/illustrator, you can attach an image to your pitch (or you can create a mood board as long as you credit the image creator. Refrain from Al images and content). You can use additional hashtags to identify your sub genre, editors and agents will look for this (#SEL= Social Emotional Learning, #NF = Nonfiction, #C= Concept, #L= Lyrical, #|= Interactive etc.). THE GOAL IS TO BUILD COMMUNITY. DO YOUR BEST TO SUPPORT YOUR FELLOW CREATIVES AND HELP PROMOTE OUR PRESENCE HERE.
