Three Little Pigs 🐽 I love doing some folklore illustration every once in a while and also dabbing in an experimental style that is a bit different. Why just stick to one style? #kidlitcommunity #kidlit #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #illustration #childrensillustrator #childrensbooks #folklore

I feel like many people here on Bluesky don't have pronouns in their bio, especially in #kidlit land. It's an easy thing to do to show you are a trans/queer ally. I personally usually only follow people who state their pronouns.
