C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Oh my gosh. 😭 I LOVE this kinds of conversations at readings and school visits. 010
C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Curious how MY BIG BOOK OF TEXAS came together? Next Wednesday I’ll join the Texas Center for the Book for #TXBookChat! We’ll talk jackalopes, research rabbit holes, what made the cut, and how I squeezed a whole lotta Texas into 48 illustrated pages. Sept. 23, 10 AM CT www.tsl.texas.gov/txbookchat 0133

C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Y’all—this is some iconic level Austin radness. Places I love in this town often have had an Austin Chronicle Best Of banner hanging in them, and so joining this illustrious cadre for My Big Book of Texas is mind-blowing, to say the least. (So, yeah. I HAD to get the banner.) 010
C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Today was a great day! 🤠📚 I talked MY BIG BOOK OF TEXAS with the Texas Center for the Book—and even got to see the ACTUAL Texas Constitution. A huge moment for this Texas-sized Texas nerd! ⭐ 000
C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 02/08/2026“Cats only, bro.” In which, the bed is too high for Argento* (the pug, if you’re new to this feed) and the cats require a Sunday morning felines and favorite humans only hang time. *It’s actually not. One magical Saturday he figured out how to jump up, but the knowledge has left him. 010
C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Watched He-Man. It was great, minus the absence of Stratos, my fave OG He-Man figure. So I sketched a bunch of Stratos heads about it. 010
C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Do your thing. Live your whimsy. Tell your stories. A child who picks up your book years from now won’t know how many Instagram posts you made, won’t know what the algorithm did that week. They’ll just know someone created a world they wanted to spend time in. This, the part that lasts. #kidlit 040

C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 04/01/2026“Lasers in the trees” sounds simple—but wow. Bare winter branches glow magenta and blue, turning trees otherworldly. Prismatic light climbs stairs, splitting into cyan, magenta, and shadow. Art that teaches you how to see again. This is why we’re alive. 🌕✨LUMINATIONS @ the Wildflower Center 020

C.S. Jennings @csjennings.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Argento now moves his beds around, dragging them from room to room. Apparently, just ONE in my studio was enough. And then he blocked the door with it. 🤣 000
