My shortcut is using Bisquick. Good to have around to cut some corners. Most people have eggs, milk, sugar & oil (I prefer subbing applesauce for oil, so have those small single-serving containers for that). Vanilla is nice but not necessary. No bread pan? Use a square or pie plate.

To those in the publishing industry who use multiple social media platforms: which are your current go-to platforms, in your user experience?

I was at a church that taught this. The ideology is against allying with "non-Christian" nations, espouses national sovereignty, biblically-based laws, etc. BUT it was theoretically established via the outcome of a national conversion, NOT coercion. I think it's a cover to appeal to the Xian base.

😍👍🤩 I (always) LOVE these sketches of yours, Farah!

Yes, I don't really explore my ancestry beyond the borders as it is difficult in many respects, language being one of them! 👍

Ah. I am starting to realize my mostly isolationist lifestyle makes having a biz card dispensable. 😱😬

Remembering Dan Moynihan, 1973-2025 - The Comics Journal The news came out towards the end of the month that Boston cartoonist, illustrator and children's author Dan Moynihan passed away on Dec. 21 due to a medical emergency. He was 52. His friend Dave Kier...

Yes! Purple is THE color! 😜 Thank you, Berrie! ❤️

Thank you, Dusty!

Ha ha! Thank you, Debbie! A little dif style, but fun to work in! 👍😄❤️

Pretty!

Hmmm...I haven't used a business card in years. I usually pull out my phone and share my website. But these are usually just to casual folks anyway. I never run into anybody IRL who would be a business contact. Interested to hear more from others.

I find family genealogical research relaxing, absorbing, and a worthwhile distraction. You're puzzle-solving, exploring history, solving mysteries, & at times, finding yourself quite surprised; even shocked! Anybody else exploring this activity?

Oops. I meant "2026". No way to edit this, hmmm? Ah well. It always takes me a while to make the transition! 😂

Heh! Cute little face on this guy, Bear! 😍

Thanks, Charlene. I've been out of the loop over the last week and half. My, breaks are nice! 😄

What does being pre-2016 mean?

Same. I consider it a secondary, more fluid portfolio, where I can get some commentary from friends who stop by. Kinda like a studio experience! I can live with that.

Here’s another tip: how about we all just ditch Instagram???

It’s crazy how much creatives insist on staying there while simultaneously going oh no one sees my posts, I’m not growing, etc.

Girl stop, it’s not you, it’s the app.

I'd be happy to leave IG, but there is no alternative that I know of. BlueSky is modeled after Twitter/X. That never worked for me as a platform. It's like walking into a packed stadium and catching what the conversation is of those nearby at that given moment. I'll go back and read this thread.

Thanks so much, Dori! Thanks so much, Kate! 😜😂

Awww...Thank you so much, Kate! It was fun to create! 😍😜

SO cute, Farah! 😍

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm Paula, #kidlitillustrator of books, magazines, etc.! This is a silly I created Highlights magazine. Feel free to email me about any projects you have!

I just downloaded the app on my phone & tablet. Wow! Thanks for letting us know! And nothing MOVES! That's the main reason I don't use IG on my phone/tablet.

An aside: Why am I unable to find the original thread I posted on? X does that, too. It doesn't take me back to the original thread. 🤷🤦‍♀️

Oh, okay. I looked it up. 👍😉

One thing that I haven't liked about Bluesky is that it is like Twitter/X. That format for art sharing, etc. Didn't work for me. I preferred IG. So this is Bluesky going IG. Interesting...
