🚨“There is no wide spread voter fraud in the USA. It is simply not true that voter fraud or non US citizens voting is a widespread issue. It is a myth perpetrated by people whose real goal is to suppress the rights of American citizens!” Say NO to the SAVE ACT. 👇🏼 www.callyoursenate.com #pinks

Someday, this is going to be over. When it is we will have so much work to do trying to heal what's been shattered, and to mourn how much has been lost. And after we've grappled with how to do both, we are going to go after the centrists who got us here.

#libraryloot The librarian called me a #poweruser. LOL I was there on a Sunday evening and the place was brimming with activity. A sweet boy serenaded himself as I picked out books in the graphic novel aisle. Families hang out, socialize, and read, of course. What a wonderful #readingtime #readers

BONE + BLOSSOM This is inspired by Alice & Mary from North Woods by Daniel Mason. That book absolutely enraptured me. Daniel Mason is incandescent in his darkness and eccentric in wit. It’s a treasure. I hope you’ll read it. #folktaleweek #illustration #mixedmedia @folktaleweek.bsky.social

Can I just take a minute to celebrate the #kidlit community here on Bluesky. Children’s book people weren’t just early adopters, they stayed. They stayed, and organized, and remained engaged, even back when it was quiet. They kept the fire burning until the sunrise. I see you #kidlit. 💙❤️

Covers are special challenge. They have to both stand out (differentiated from what's out there) and fit in (market fit). They have to represent the story at a glance, and also be the face of an object a reader may own for decades. Central character large + making eye contact with the reader works.

I can’t emphasize enough how right this is. The reason this is the Good Place is precisely because it’s different than the Bad Place. Leave the Bad Place rules behind and embrace these!

Art Directors, Editors, Designers: Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! My #illustration specialty: animal characters with feelings. Represented by @lynnettenovak.bsky.social of The SeymourAgency. Portfolio: dianadelosh.com #kidlitartpostcard #kidlitart #illustrator #illustration #kidlit

My ink, watercolor, digital illustration of a family of anthropomorphic bunnies walking on a lovely fall day, each carrying a food item. Are they off to an autumnal party? Leading the way is Mama Bunny holding a pumpkin tureen and chatting with her daughter. Sissy Bunny is holding a bag of apples. the bag has a hole in the bottom. Apples have dropped out of the bag causing her brother in the aqua and mint striped sweater to slip and toss his plate of cupcakes. Brother bunny in the red sweater is staring at the cupcakes in the air, unaware that he's about to slip too. Below the illustration is my stamp made up of my name: DianaTingDelosh.
