Happy #kidlitartpostcard day. It’s my favorite time to draw. I’ve been working on a softer style that I think would be a great fit for chapter books or graphic novels.

Before he died, Francis Tsai used blink/eye gaze technology to draw these. To draw them. No prompts.
People don’t need problematic technology to show their imagination. If you can prompt, you can learn to write, you can write stories. Anyone can MAKE art. Of any kind. Prompting is not making.
