Thanks!! I love that idea ❤️

I rarely do these #DTIYS challenges, but I really liked this one. It was a good way to start the week. I liked that I could make it relevant to picture book art. Thanks @charlyclements for hosting this challenge!

#characterseries--Sisters. It's always a struggle to figure out how to dress kid characters. Using Pinterest as inspiration helps. If I had my way they'd all wear stripes!

Photo of an open drawer filled with picture book dummies and sketches. A black pug named Hank looks up at the viewer. The photographer (and author/illustrator) Gina Perry, stands next to him in slippers. Text bubble reads "Thanks for the reminder to open the drawer again, Hank!" Image appears in January 17th's Storystorm blog post on Tara Lazar's website.

I wrote today's Storystorm post, a little help for when you are stuck in your stories: taralazar.com/category/sto... #kidlit (Hank makes a brief appearance!)

Back at my #characterseries with this little reader. Is there anything better than curling up with a good book? The correct answer is no 😉

After much angst I have added my hand painted abstract ornaments & 5x7 original abstracts to my Etsy Shop! I've poured my heart into these mini works of art & hope you love them as much as I do. May they bring you the same joy they brought me!

we don't *need* "AI" to mass-produce novels, we already have James Patterson

Beautiful!

Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR.

This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators.

I'm really wishing I had a dog. It's not practical for us right now, so I'm drawing dogs instead. It's fun, but you can't cuddle a drawing 😭 Anyway, here are some festive pups.
