ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

I actually made a new postcard, but I didn’t save it to my google drive and I’m currently traveling! Am at Milkwood/a kids book residency program as we speak! So I only have this one to repost. Still in mermaid world! #kidlitpostcard #kidlitart #kidlitartpostcard #illustration

You might’ve heard me say: the goal of a creative practice is to refine what you’ve made until you can bear witness to it with a quiet mind—free from the whisper of an urge to change anything. Thinking this morning that—bearing witness to whatever you’ve made—you should also have a full heart.

I don’t often get the opportunity to make work that explores themes of anger, feralness, or betrayal. But all of those feelings are really relevant for my opinions about the state of the world right now, so this piece has offered a bit of catharsis #illustration #selkies #mermay #mermay2025

I have a new header image! It’s part of an image featuring a selkie, so I think it counts as a #mermay illustration?? #mermay2025

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para6 graph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof

10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment

A couple of recent WIPs. I tracked down a couple of vintage Ivan Bilibin books and am really inspired by the use of borders as storytelling motifs! Hope to finish these two pieces this month to go along with my new website launch! #illustration #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #selkies

I’ve been chipping away at this big illustration for a while now. I wanted to challenge myself to do some detailed rendering, mostly in spite of ai. And since I didn’t have a deadline attached to this, it’s probably the longest I’ve ever spent on one piece! #illustration #kidlitart #fairies

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully. That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

Hello! My first post here is a quick light study I did somewhat recently using gouache. I am an author and illustrator with a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design (as of this May), who is passionate about character driven stories set in fantastical worlds:)

the best thing about making art is that it rewards attention. it's a rooting feeling that sprouts from creating; to feel yourself looking, noticing, and improving by that practice.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Hossam Shabat, a 23 year old journalist who documented the genocide of his people left a final message. shared by his team.

screenshot of @HossamShabat on twitter: This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
