Sage affirmation: “Some people know what their book is about before they make it. And some people, they make the book and then finally, they know what it is.…That’s okay. That’s my process, and to embrace the mess.” — @suzannekaufmanart.bsky.social (SCBWI Podcast interview)

Anyone else getting excited for this weekends @scbwi.bsky.social conference? 10 years ago was my first time as an attendee and without a doubt it set me on my path. I was so nervous but I left with new skills, a path to growth, and a new kidlit family. Feel free to stop me and say hi.

Time again to fire up the old Resistance Machine. I was going to sell these 120 prints to make some extra money for my family, but Julie and I decided all profits should go to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Please support, please share. Thank you. ✌️ www.etsy.com/listing/1864...

Mountain Top - by Romare Bearden (1968). Wishing for a meaningful and heartfelt Martin Luther King Jr. Day to everyone. May we honor his words and legacy on this day.

Five things to do today: 1. Make time for yoga/meditation, whatever movement or stillness works. 2. Turn off the TV, put your phone down, & go outside. 3. Spend time in nature. 4. Make something. A poem. Art. A cake. 5. Remember that the work will be there tomorrow. Care for yourself today.

Vacation painting is one of my favorite ways to inspire my future books. This is one of a dozen small sketchbooks I completed before and while I was working on my book Blue. Excited to share it with world June 3rd 2025.
