I love being able to inject my Caribbean culture into my work. Pictured beside this cute little fairy is the rolling calf of Jamaican culture. In "Mary and The Stranger from The Moor" written by Margo Morrison, we transform this fearsome creature through art into a misunderstood sweetheart.

Pretty dang happy with how this illustration turned out. I love cartoon portraits cause it gives me time to study features and experiment with brushes and colour. What do you think?? #kidlitartist

RIP Guy Moon, the composer for several series, including Fairly OddParents (and the rest of Butch Hartman's work), 2 Stupid Dogs, Cow and Chicken, Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, Back in the Barnyard, and many more. He was 63 years old.

Screencap of a post on Guy Moon's Facebook:
We are overcome with grief to announce the passing of our beloved patriarch, Guy Moon. He was killed on Thursday morning in a traffic collision.
We feel singularly blessed to have been able to call him dad and husband. As we stand together at the base of what seems to be an insurmountable grief, we are emboldened to grieve him with honor and courage with the tools that he equipped us with in his beautiful life. He has left an unmistakable legacy, and will be profoundly missed by us, his family, and countless others whose lives he impacted.
We are tentatively planning to celebrate his life on his birthday, February 7th, in the Los Angeles area, and again sometime after in his hometown in Wisconsin. We will make details available as we plan.
Together we remain,
The Moon Family

Does anyone here do Kintsugi? I have a question about whether it can be used to repair a square tile. It has sentimental value to me. I grabbed a pic off Google just to show an example of the kind of repair.

Absolutely tickled this pumpkin came from my front yard. The birds I feed dropped a pumpkin seed and it grew to a WHOPPING 12.6 lb pumpkin. There's 2 more on the vine waiting to be picked. This is what I call living in a picture book #KidLitArt #PumpkinSeason #KidLit

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY:

"1. Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

Publishing illustrators: remember, lettering the title, doing spot illustrations for the back/spine, doing illustrated endpapers... These are all things that should extend the budget of a project! If you're asked to do work outside the original piece, ask for more $

A WIP for a new illustration I'm doing. The appearance of black boys is over-policed in schools in my country. There is deep bias against black school boys who choose to grow & style their hair- especially with locs. How they wear their hair is not a reflection of their ability to learn. #kidlitart
