Steph Laberis

If you’re wondering where to find me at the Epcot Festival of the Arts, wonder no more! I’ll be there for 10 days (!!!) in February and hoping to see you there!

Woo-hoo! I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be returning to WDW for the 2025 Epcot Festival of the Arts with 3 new pieces! Catch me in the France Pavilion from 2/7-2/16. More details to come, but for now have some sneaky-peeks!

I guess there’s been another exodus here?

Anyhoo, I’ll be tabling at LBX next week!

Some big news to share! I’ll be appearing at the Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure to sign prints and debut a brand new Ratatouille piece! 🐀🧑‍🍳 And on my birthday weekend to boot!!! 🎂

Come say hi if you’re in the area, I’ll be at Downtown Disney on 3/30,
so no need for a park pass!

2 weeks and counting 🫠 Holidays officially ruined.

May some small portion of 2024 be filled with better health and less orange snot. 🤧

Peppermint doofus ❤️🤍❤️🤍

A story in 3 acts:

Reskeet with a banger pic of your cats.

I’m laid up with a back injury today but it’s still a good day because my advance copies of “It’s Not Easy Being Santa Claus” have arrived! Lots of festive cuties in this one and of course, gratuitous Sprocket cameos (and Cliff too!)

Today I noticed that the only keys on my keyboard that are wearing down are the “undo” keys.

Draw your own conclusions of me as an artist. 😬

My ridiculously multi-talented partner @rezination.bsky.social is hosting a magic show next weekend (card magic was his pandemic hobby, now turned pro!) and to celebrate I illustrated our cats as the queens they think they are. ❤️♦️

Also, never play cards with Rez. ;)

Will save you a copy!! 🐋😍

More book sneaky peeks! Available in March, this time it’s all about🐋! Wonderful to be working with author Bonnie Bader again on this non-fiction introduction to some sweet cetaceans! Incidentally, this is the 3rd time I’ve illustrated a whale fighting a giant squid in my children’s book career 🦑🐋

Hey artists -check your followers.

A screenshot of the bluesky “this is taking too long” server overload message.

bluesky whenever musk announces that he’s invented a new way of being dumb on twitter:

Does Sprocket make a cameo in this book?

MAYBE.

Pub date is 10/3 BUT you can pre-order a copy now 👀

Steph why do you have a favorite spider

I don’t know, you ever find a nice little fellow setting up camp in an unobtrusive corner of a window & revel in his months worth of bugs he’s spared you from & watched him grow & just enjoyed that he’s living his best life as you live yours?

No? Just me?

Just cat owner things: today Sprocket ate my favorite spider and I’m legit sad about it. 😭

It’s hard being a spider-friendly household while the goblin is unattended 😣

Happy Monday from the Cintiq goblin.

How was your weekend?

Happy to announce and celebrate MORE NEW EPISODES of Young Jedi Adventures aired yesterday!! 🎉

THEY PAINTED IT I'M CRYING

This one is currently my top choice. Where did you feel that it fell short? Honestly I just wish TwitWipe would get its act together, I just want to wipe everything but retain my followers/following.

It’s true, it may be all for nothing but if anything I was looking to pivot to another platform anyway. I’d rather go scorched earth on the bird site and cultivate a new audience on a less questionable site.

What apps or methods are people using to mass delete their tweets on that other site? I need to wipe the slate clean before the AI scrape.

Please & thank you ❤️

Will post new artwork here and on my Insta from now on, that other site will be used to announce new books/projects/gallery shows 👍

Don’t worry, this jerk is here too.
