I can post on image based socials all the time no problem but it’s struggle with Twitters/blueskys/threads. I simply don’t know what to say!!

Making the most diabolical synth pop playlist to listen to while I work on my book because I know my main character would have it on repeat 😌😌

Do you ever get hit with crazy decision fatigue and wander around your house like a sim who keeps getting their actions canceled 🥲

My first bluesky #kidlitartpostcard day!! ✨ I thought it’d be fun to share my first postcard I ever actually printed and sent out! I’m currently working a couple really exciting projects but always looking to connect with kidlit people :) Repped by @ladygoofus.bsky.social 🐰 gabbiebenda.art 🪱

Gabbie Benda’s kid lit art postcard! A pink handheld gaming console on a yellow background. Playing on the console is a farming simulator game. The character has just picked up a fresh turnip.

Fun fact: if you make a scene of your graphic novel in a library, you then have to actually draw a library and every book on every shelf 🥰🥰

I’m usually so hard on myself with coloring, but I’m really happy with the pages I’ve done this week. Watching my debut come together has been so 🥺🥺😭

Someone should sit down every person who wants to be a full time artist and tell them how swiftly sitting like a shrimp will catch up with them 😭😭

I’ve been taking a break from posting on ig and TikTok for obvious reasons, but the emails and push notifications they send me to try and convince me to post more are interesting for sure lol
