Artsy, military kid from navy town at the end of Vietnam War hates jr. high school. Then her big bro is drafted & mom's illness worsens & she's chasing thrills with kids who play with fire. But she catches herself & keeps from burning into her own future. #MG #GN #Memoir #POC #Own #MH #DVPit #DVArt

If you you see this post your cat. #KidlitArt

My cat 3x as shown in this collage of a city library visit I did back in May: On the easel after drawing on the fly w/ suggestions from attendees, a close-up of that drawing and full-color version I sent to the library in thanks for the gig.

It's #kidlitpostcardart day! I'm a traditionally pubbed #authorillustrator seeking representation. I write & illustrate PB's, MG & comics. Will soon query my MG graphic novel. I have several completed PB's--a lyrical NF and a whimsical story w/ STEAM elements.

A shameless repost because a fellow illustrator reminded me. And now I’m reminding you. 😆

Btw this image is based on my growing up in Keflavik and playing on boulders while the aurora performed its syrupy dance.

So, politicos, are you really gonna die on this hill: Imposed austerity for your fellow Americans vs. opulence & unchecked power for the wealthiest? #WethePeople say tax the billionaires.

Maps = Our society's zeitgeist.
Call out #Google for bowing to a wannabe dictator.
📍 Rate Google Maps: Look up "Gulf of Mexico" and leave a 1-star rating under reviews if it shows up differently. 🤔 Let other people know you rated that they can LIKE your rating, as well!

ICYMI.
Reporter asks Speaker Mike Johnson questions that point to his hypocrisy as a congressional leader allowing private citizen Musk un questioned access to our nation's sensitive information and workings. Screenshot from Newsmax TV Breaking News coverage of Speaker Mike Johnson with pie on his face. Just kidding. But Johnson might as well have pie on his face because he looks like he was caught lying on live TV.

I made a thing. 😁 It’s sort of a Christmas gift for myself to use in the new year. I was inspired by the “created with human intelligence” movement that began earlier this year.
