As a lover of both #graphicnovels and #art Botticelli’s Apprentice by @umurrayhusted.bsky.social was a brilliant afternoon’s read. Particularly liked the explanations of art techniques from the period. Recommend for all but teachers of art in #primary or #secondary will love it.

Well, I guess the STrib let the corn out of the bag. My tribute to Alice Neel made it to the MiA's Cream of the Crop show. This is a genuine and entirely unexpected honor.

I am so sorry, folks. Due to a family health emergency, I am unable to leave for the Siglufjordur Comics Fest. I'm heartbroken and plan to come another year, but can't travel at this time. Hug your loved ones.

Do I hand-carve stamps to hand-print hundreds of two color stickers for every convention I attend? Hard nope. But I am doing so for the Myndasöguhátíð Siglufjarðar / Siglufjörður Comics Festival because they deserve my very best efforts. I can't wait to come up and draw comics with y'all! 💙

Got a maddening scam email and, since I don’t currently have any students to rant at, drew this to warn new author folk to never ever EVER pay to be interviewed for a podcast or anything else! Augh!

Botticelli’s Apprentice from @umurrayhusted.bsky.social was released on March 11 and published by Harper Collin’s.
I don’t know why they refer to Ursula as a rising star, she’s always been one. Amazing work from this Twin Cities artist.
