An illustration of tangled thorns and insects in the evening blue light. A closer look reveals a scratched up hand reaching out and a partially hidden face with the eye scratched and blinded.

My longlisted entry for the Folio Book Illustration Award.
Researched quite a few things that gross me out, namely eye injuries and insects😅. The spider is a jorō-gumo. V. pretty V. creepy😬.

A brown haired girl walks her corgi in the rain. Both are wearing yellow raincoats. The girl also wears red boots and carries a light blue umbrella.

Apparently 23 days since I last posted😭.

A girl with red rimmed glasses and her large white fluffy dog poke their heads out of the rear passenger window of a big yellow car... with tongues out in the wind.

Thank you😊

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

🤣

Can I reshare my past Korean folktale #KidLitArtPostcard about Resistance 👇🐯🐶

A little girl sits on a doorstep doing up her shoelaces as a brown dachshund approaches with some bunch of tulips in his mouth to offer her.

Forgot to post my #kidlitartpostcard here😅
Happy first Thursday of the month! 🤗

A girl surrounded by cats on a pink couch in a pink room reading. It's dark, gloomy, and rainy outside.

Here is January😁

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Illustration of open book with text "Kid Lit Mega Feed" on its pages. Beside the book are two QR codes, one going to the feed and the other going to more info and how to be added. Link to the feed itself is shown below the book.

This is a pinnable post for the #KidLitMegaFeed, a collab (multiple curated #KidLit lists). Admins: @boringstorybook.com @charlenedraws.bsky.social @debbieohi.com. READ THIS re: how to be added, how to post.
