Really cool, thanks for sharing these insights! It's interesting to see the way that creating a Monument Valley puzzle is a separate, extremely intricate puzzle with its own challenges and solutions

Really, really clever! I can't imagine how involved it must have been to plan

Back when I was a kid, there was a secondhand book store that would get volumes of Tintin every once in a while, and I think, funnily enough, reading that series when I was growing up (especially the Castafiore Emerald) massively defined the kinds of art and stories I ended up pursuing

I decided to get serious about pursuing picture books relatively recently, and I've had a really great experience this year getting to know the online community, talking to people and attending lectures and workshops. It might be my favorite group of people I've met online! #KidLitArt

I finished the storyboards for a picture book dummy I'm working on, and developed the visual style for a board book idea! #KidLitArt

Thanks very much for the explanation! I never realized non-compete clauses had these nuances before.
