I'm very much enjoying the @scbwisf.bsky.social conference today! I drew an octopus on my nametag, as is my wont

Photo of a conference badge from the SCBWI Golden Gate Fest 2026. It has the conference theme "Finding Courage: Creating Through Resistance" and lovely conference art and my name and pronouns. It also has an ink doodle of an octopus.

Attendees of @scbwisf.bsky.social Illustrator's Day were given a Secret Misison to draw thank-you notes for the three organizers and coordinators, inspired by things those people like. I coudn't resist taking photos of mine before handing them in. Sending so much gratitude to these wonderful people!

Pen and ink drawing of a cat and an octopus with teacups. The octopus looks a bit goofy and is squirting ink helpfully into the cat's teacup (its cup is already full of ink). The cat, wide-eyed and flat-mouthed, says, "Thank...you." A label added digitally to the drawing says "prompt: cats, tea."

Pen and ink drawing of a cat wearing a wizard hand and brandishing a wand. It looks skeptically over its shoulder at an octopus who is making the word WOW with its arms. The cat says, "Thank you..." A label added digitally to the drawing says "prompt: magical cats."

Pen and ink drawing of a cat and an octopus with a baking sheet covered in broken heart-shaped cookies. The octopus looks a bit goofy and is using its many arms to attempt to reassemble the cookies. The cat, with a paw over its face, says, "...Thank you." A label added digitally to the drawing says "prompt: baking, fixing hearts."
