Hi #kidlitartpostcard! I’m Veronica, sticking my head up every once in a while from coloring GN pages to see what everyone’s up to. I love sci-fi, fantasy and adventure! This is from a comic where 2 cousins find powerful mecha and need to save their city while the local superhero guardian is away.

💜

Thanks for the RTs!

Eep! I almost forgot it's #KidLitArtPostcard day!
Here's a spread I did from from LIKE THAT ELEANOR (a picture book written by Lee Wind & illustrated by ME!) of Eleanor and her papi booping noses.

A watercolor painting of a 2 friends, an orange toad in a cute swimsuit and fun, floppy sun hat and a green frog in a tank top and red cap. Both are enjoying the warm summer day, sitting on toadstools as they eat their ice cream (with fly sprinkles!)

Happy #kidlitartpostcard! I love creating characters with rich backstories. I love ice cream even more. 😁

Hi all! I’m looking to hire a #comics flatter immediately. I’m working on a sci-fi OGN for kids in CSP with a deadline coming up soon. Please DM with samples of flatting/color if interested. Thanks!

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

Black History Month reminds us that the fight for justice and equality is ongoing. As we honor the trailblazers who paved the way, let’s remain vigilant against those who seek to undermine our progress. Our history teaches us resilience; our future demands our action. #BlackHistoryMonth

A fact I like to point out in my classes is that by the beginning of the Civil War, every white-controlled Christian denomination in the American South had developed a pro-slavery theology and adopted it as their official position- except for the Quakers.

Teachers and schools need to know that we are not required to give up our kids. We do not have to open our doors to ICE or the police. Morally, obviously, but also legally. We are our students' legal guardians when they are in our care and we should be making the right call for students' safety.

Trippy panel I inked today from my upcoming OGN, Marty Milagros DOOMS the Earth.

It's an under the sea picture book cover. The background is painted in blues and greens. There's a tiny purple whale with orange glasses on the left, smiling at a tiny orange krill on the right. A pretty coral reef is underneath the characters and there are blue fish behind them.

Thank you for doing this Debbie!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Read books, watch movies, listen to music, go to concerts and plays and lift up those artists who are doing the things that make you happy, because it will help, then, make other people happy too, and fill the internet with things other than just that guy and what he’s doing

Okay revised the starter pack description to make it clearer.

If u r a designer or illustrator please boost this to help me find other hiring directors.

If u r an art, design, or creative director who hires designers and/or illustrators, raise your hand—I’ll add u.

When making art is intimidating:

📌 Because there are some great book recommendations on this list

This is a brave but savvy move by Amazon workers. A lot of folks will be tempted to cross the line for the 'deals' but equally Amazon relies heavily on this weekend. If the union can dint the takings (if we can show them our solidarity for one weekend) it will make a big difference. Stand with them
