A group of children’s authors and illustrators have launched the “We Are Better Than This” campaign, described as a “creative uprising” against AI. 👇

So, I'm trying out this new social media platform. I hope to fill it with colorful artwork from the wonderful industry I work in, art from beyond it, bookish things, and... whatever else catches my interest. Hopefully, it'll be worth following.

Halo Book Birthday…!! Singing Justice Singing Peace: The Story of Joan Baez is out now! 🫶🏼🕊️ Just like Joan, we each have a part to play in this fight for a better world, and it all starts with your voice.

It’s always fun when a friend from high school finds a drawing you made at 17 — and you realize you’ve been making pretty much the same image in one form or another ever since. 
Thanks to @shannoncurtis.bsky.social for a trip down memory lane! #illustration

Before he died, Francis Tsai used blink/eye gaze technology to draw these. To draw them. No prompts. People don’t need problematic technology to show their imagination. If you can prompt, you can learn to write, you can write stories. Anyone can MAKE art. Of any kind. Prompting is not making.

Countdown to pub of THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES words by @stephaniegibeault.bsky.social art by me avail Aug 1 I used the same composition 3 times in this book. Each time a little different to show Mack’s progress. I wanted to show all three at once and came up this fractal collage #picturebook

Meet Mack the Bee Dog and his human partner Cybil Preston in my latest article for @americankennelclub.bsky.social. They're the subject of my latest #picturebook with @davidhohn.bsky.social THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES (from Sleeping Bear Press).🐝🐕 www.akc.org/expert-advic...

Countdown to pub of THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES words by @stephaniegibeault.bsky.social art by me avail Aug 1 When I saw this press photo of Mack getting his award I knew a version of it had to be included in the final book. In hindsight I kinda’ wish I kept Gov. Hogan’s purple shirt and tie.
