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. 😉

When the BARBIE movie came out in 2023, I did a big thread over at the *other place* of vintage Barbie illustration. Here are covers to the mini-booklets that came with the dolls - 1958 & 1961. Ken was introduced in 1961: "He's a doll!" No artist credit, unfortunately. 🧵

THE BOOK THAT ALMOST RHYMED
@OmarAbedWrites.bsky.social & @metahatem.bsky.social
Big thanks @SandyJonas.bsky.social for this one!

I ❤️ this book! It has everything…siblings, pirates, hilarious page turns. Story within a story almost rhymes in the best possible way.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

This is your last chance to sign up for Couch to 5k Words, starting Monday 12 January!

Wake up your writing and get set for a stonking year of awesome words.
