I’m so amped with how these look. Cover reveal coming soon!

I used to have old toys on that high shelf, but the direct sunlight was dulling their colors. I’m thinking of putting some plants up there—but I’m afraid I’ll forget to water them.

It’s highly unlikely that my studio will be this tidy again for a while—so here’s a look at my creative space!

It makes me wonder—will I someday be collaborating with one of these kids who send me Lunch Lady fan mail? I cannot wait for you to see what Marc Brown and I have been cooking up with Little, Brown Ink!

I don’t know how you’d even begin to do the math and count up all of the titles that exist because Jane was so generous with her time.

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Beautiful Jane—how sad I am to say farewell, but how lucky I am to have called you friend and mentor. Jane Yolen left us with 450 published books, but perhaps her greatest legacy will be the love and support she shared with so many of us writers and illustrators in the children’s book community.

Indianapolis! I’m here—hope to see you on Saturday at the Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville. (And say hi if you catch me at the Stand By Me Live event on Saturday night!)

Love it! I utilize something very similar!

Summer 2026 Virtual Comics Workshops for Libraries

020

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

Trying something different this summer to meet libraries where they’re at with budgets. You’ll gather patrons in person with paper and pencils—I’ll run a comics workshop over Zoom. I’ll mail a physical drawing to you in advance so you can share it with patrons and let them see the art up close.

Tag a librarian who might be interested! I’m hoping we get enough signups. studiojjk.com/summer2026

Never tapped in my life, and Jacqui hasn’t in 30 years. Our “kid choreographers” were incredible teachers and mentors to help pull this off!

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Ya can really see the concentration in my face… I’m working on getting these moves DOWN for the big show on April 17th. Dancing with the Local Stars is the premiere fundraiser for Cutchins. They provide vital mental health care for kids and families in Massachusetts.

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

While also learning how to tap dance to raise critical funds for mental health care. And also — parenting. Remembering to take care of yourself, too, is such an important skill. 🥱😴💤🛋️

Me on the couch trying to figure out why I’ve been napping all day after sleeping 14 hours. OH! Over the past month, I’ve delivered my author talk in Vermont, Oregon, Iowa, New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Kentucky… …while working on my books.

Creative process behind my art for the Stand By Me Live commemorative poster. Physical ink, physical watercolor, and then digital brushes. #standbyme @wilwheaton.net @millsentertainment.bsky.social

Thank you for playing around with this — and I am SO sorry if you were legit excited! While I have no plans for a prose adaptation, I do hope to make an indie film adaptation someday. 🙌

010

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

I’m bucking the trend of adapting popular prose novels into the graphic format and have written a prose adaptation of my graphic memoir, HEY, KIDDO! Proud to be the debut title on Scholastic’s new Proze imprint!

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

I’m proud to support PEN America's important work protecting free expression. I’ll be moderating a panel on graphic novels for young readers at the World Voices Festival. Find this EXTRAORDINARY lineup in NYC on May 2nd. More info at worldvoices.pen.org

OH! And I would be remiss if I also didn’t mention meeting Kent Luttrell, who served as Corey Feldman’s body double and jumped in as “the dead body” when a prop mannequin proved unconvincing. #RIPRayBrower

Shout out to event’s producer Ethan Ullman for welcoming my art into this moment, and to Dan Pasternack for expertly navigating those cats on stage to share their memories of filming that American cinematic classic.

By the serendipitous nature of this world, I was invited to create the commemorative art poster for the 40th reunion tour that Wil and his castmates are currently on. Backstage, I gifted each actor with the original artwork of their respective characters.

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

And last night, I had the opportunity to hand him a copy of that book and tell him that, without question, his work on that film laid the foundation for my eventual memoir.

Jarrett J. Krosoczka @studiojjk.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

If you’ve read my graphic memoir HEY, KIDDO, you won’t be surprised to know that there was a lot about the character of Gordie Lachance that I identified with. @wilwheaton.net’s performance as the haunted young writer at the center of STAND BY ME left an indelible mark on me.

Public libraries! I hope you can join us this summer!

Flying out to Portland, OR, this weekend to catch Stand By Me Live and visit a few schools. Out-of-my-mind excited! And looking forward to seeing my poster IRL. I’ve loved seeing all of the flowers @wilwheaton.net has received as of late.
