@sarvenaztash.bsky.social @aaknopf.bsky.social THE TREASURE OF OCEAN PARKWAY (11/11/25) is a fun scavenger hunt mystery to end my summer reading. The best part-- it could be read on its own!

Ari is a rare gem, generous with her time, thoughtful and challenging (in the best way). I’ll miss working with her and expect she’s got great things on the horizon

Ari is just amazing. This is someone genuinely committed to artists and sharing their stories. We could (and probably should) fill the timeline with compliments for her here. If any publisher follows me here, please hire her!

Been a bit since I draw anything for myself. :)

A woman with blue/grayish hair, wearing a striped shirt is looking at the viewer. Wind is blowing through her hair and there are dust particles and leaves around her. She is wearing red tear shaped earrings.

Being an artist is swinging on the daily between feeling like an omnipotent god who can will their very ideas into creation and an absolute fraud who can barely hold a pencil.

In 2016, President Barack Obama appointed Dr. Carla Hayden to be the 14th Librarian of Congress. The Librarian of Congress serves a 10 year term. In 2026, the next President of the United States will name the 15th Librarian of Congress. Not that you really needed another reason to vote.

A couple years ago I quit my streaming and music subs and put the money towards Patreon and indie creator subs instead, if you’re not making much use of those big services consider putting that money towards indie content!

Even if you don't touch your tumblr hardly ever, be sure you "opt out" of 3rd party sharing to keep you off AI models. Or delete the blog. Whatever floats your fancy. Blog settings --> Visibility -->Prevent 3rd Party Sharing

Comics in 2024 #4: Last year, my 2nd fave 2022 comic was republished by @silversprocket.bsky.social. I can now confirm they did better than me just printing a digital download. Anyway, I still love this cosy, smart read & dig the new epilogue. Excited now for anything by @noseturqoise.bsky.social. 🦇

Thrilled to be able to share this cover I did for Lynn Buchanan's The Dollmakers! It’s not every day that both of my favourite concepts get picked for the same cover, I can’t wait for more people to read this book! It will be out on 8.13.24 Many thanks to AD Richard Aquan!

Did you know that a cashew nut is actually the seed of cashew apple fruit? These fruits are native to South America and very popular in Brazil. I used to eat them straight out of the trees when I was a kid. Anyway, maybe you'd like this print with a cashew apple in it!

I’ve been working on this one on and off, in between jobs. Coincidentally, my agency started their own version of inktober and the first prompt is “bookworm”. Happy coincidence!

I say this with love: Why, oh why, dear authors, do you so often forget to tag the illustrator of your gorgeous cover in the main post? Mentioning them in a subsequent thread is still nice but not nearly as impactful as doing that on that first post. ❤️
