Did ya’ll know that @k-sanzo.bsky.social and I are editors of our own monster newspaper? It’s called the Wing & Claw Courier. I’m currently doing some illustrations for adverts to fill the spaces between articles.

I want to do something on BSky that’s decidedly NOT how I’ve always been using other social media. But I’m not sure if I want to have a blog. What do you think about social media these days anyway- what the heck use is it?

Filling in the pages of the last #ArtJournal of 2025. If you’re new to following my work - filling sketchbooks to the brim with chaotic and sometimes clever stuff. And there’s nothing I like more than the sight of a filled book! If you’ve got journals of your own please share.

Every time #PortfolioDay comes around I wish I was a real artist. Anyway ✨ I’m JL Grillo, mixed media illustrator, comic maker, and pink rabbit/cat/fox. I live in Los Angeles with six cats, a dog, and a little dragon. Oh — and I’ll be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in November!

It’s been a busy week - time to give myself a paper-plate award. 🥇 “I’d like to thank all my friends and colleagues, without whom this award would have been unattainable.” 🫠
