Congratulations! That's so exciting! 😊

Watercolour painting of a person amidst a whole bunch of clovers flowering in pink and purple, with only their head and hands poking out. They're holding up a letter to their face, looking like they're giving it a gentle kiss

Thinking of you ✉️☘️

alexis contributed the amazing art for the teaser trailer, which happens to also be the Spring disc cover art! here it is without text~

we'll be showing the three other covers as we reveal more artists...

OH, Look! Another game translated by magic!

This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI.

We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.

So cute! I vote duck! 🦆💛

An illustration by Angela Matteson of a park scene with a dala horse mom sitting on a bench next to a knitting owl watching her youngest boy ride off on his scooter while big sister is looking up at Mom saying, "Ma! mama! ma! Ma!", and another dala sister is walking on wood logs. A bird couple and a squirrel are on the path.

Art of a young East asian girl wearing a yellow outfit and holding a red ribbon. She rides a red horse with flames for its mane and tail. A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.

Children’s book illustration showing a raccoon in a hot air balloon pouring a bag of hearts out onto the land below. The hot air balloon is red and has a pattern of hearts on it. The earth below the raccoon and balloon is blue, and trees, a farm, a village, and a city can be seen, all in shades of blue. The hearts from the raccoon’s bag are red and orange and are swirling down onto the earth below, brightening the land where they touch to shades of yellow and orange.

Our world needs more love. Let’s all do our part to spread as much as possible! Oh, and if you’re an art director and have a “lovely” project for me, I’d like that too. 😉

Illustration of a fall orchard. A young girl is climbing an apple ladder and notices a very large dinosaur hiding in the half-bare tree. Her mom is nearby taking a video with her phone, distracted by a rare european cuckoo bird in another tree. The young girl is saying "Mom..." A bag of apples is on the ground. Art by Gina Perry www.ginaperry.com Rep'd by Sean McCarthy.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Today's post is based on a true story! Not the dinosaur, but the appearance of a European Cuckoo bird in New Hampshire this past autumn. I'm open for new book projects mid-year. Rep'd by Sean McCarthy. www.ginaperry.com #kidlit

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

A cute digital pet portrait of a black and tan chihuahua mix dog with floppy ears.

A cute digital pet portrait of a cream-colored husky mix dog sitting by a river.

I made some pet portraits for some friends, recently! 🐶

A cute digital illustration of a playground at a woodland elementary school for forest creatures. Foxes, raccoons, hedgehogs, mice, rabbits, ducks, and more play on a large wooden playground apparatus. A deer teacher waits by the entrance to the school, which is a large tree trunk.

A cute digital illustration of a family at a busy farmer's market. The mother holds up an apple to her son, who is sitting on his father's shoulders. The market stalls are filled with produce, flowers, and preserves.

A cute digital illustration of a little girl with black hair reading a book with her back to an sea otter tank at an aquarium. A curious otter looks over the little girl's shoulder as she points to a page in her book. Another sea otter happily swims in the background.

A cute digital illustration of a cat and three hedgehogs camping outdoors at sunset. They sit around campfire, the cat playing songs on his guitar as the hedgehogs roast marshmallows.
