This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators.

Nice! I’ve done my share of reduction cuts. They can be quite a challenge, but so exciting when you see the end result!
For this week’s #printmaking class we had to make a reduction print. It was a little bit of a mind-bender planning out the process of working back to front and light to dark, but I figured it out in the end, chatter and all. 😅

Breaking- HB3225 which would have set age restrictions at public libraries failed to pass the Senate deadline tonight. We are glad to know that Texas public libraries can continue serving patrons and allowing families to make their own choices.

Making #picturebooks is my passion and I’m so lucky to do this for a living! My favorite things to draw are weather, fantastical nature driven backgrounds and funny characters. Contact my agent for any #kidlit project- I’d love to work on more brilliant stories!

I did not know that library workers are oathsworn!
I also did not think I could love library workers any more than I already do but there you go.

Did you know library workers are an oathsworn profession? The ideals are lofty: protecting intellectual freedom, equal access, without exercising our personal judgment on materials.
That all goes to pieces without funding. They’re going to be paring back. Expect to see “refocusing”. Back to books!

Again, the first impacted are always people who need anything outside the “norm”, and that realistically means access suffers and diversity in materials suffers.
This sucks and you should be furious, if not on your behalf, then the families’ who rely on the library to procure things they can’t.
