A little sliver of happy things ahead! @annettepimentel.bsky.social ‘s clever text has pushed and pulled my creative brain in the best of ways, & I’m so excited to see it become a book.

Hello #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I’m a #kidlit author-illustrator. I love to draw kids, bears, cats, and all the animals. This is a sliver of a spooky something I’ve been playing with lately.

A recent ink and watercolor experiment, because maybe we need more cheery window boxes in the world today.

Hello from another teapot. Today I’m calling my reps with the @5calls.org app to protest the corrupt octopus government destroying everything. You can, too! They make it super easy with phone numbers and scripts all ready to go. Together, we can be a mighty resistance!

I’m kind of hooked on dot palettes lately. Playing with paint is such happiness.

Something hot to drink? And maybe a samovar.

I took a class to play with color & instead of the prompt, ended up playing a writing game which started with questions and turned into teapots with faces and salt and pepper and tigers. It’s nice to play without worrying about productivity and work and what looks good for social media.

Hi Brian! Thanks for the chance to share. I’m a big fan of animals, especially bears: faithpraybooks.com

Hello everybody! I’m Faith Pray (yes, that’s really my name by marriage).
Here are some recent-ish pieces that make me smile. Whatever is ahead in 2025, my wish for us is to bring more compassion, light, & creative beauty into the world so love will rise above hate, & good will win.

My library comission is out in the world, and now I get to share it. First, some nibbles from the interiors with these surprise mice that showed up in the margins, because everybody is welcome at the library.
