My first learner's permit expired during covid while I was away for school, but mostly I was so so scared to be on the road and put it off. Many scary things happened since then, and they turned out fine eventually. Driving will be the same 💪 Here's an excerpt from my cat zine about driving!

I LOVE THESE NEW SILLY LITTLE FROGS ALL 37 OF THEM

I'm drawing more bugs and birds lately, and most importantly, goofy jokes like a bird encyclopedia being a horror novel

Just comment if you’d like to be added to the Canadian Artists one 💛 go.bsky.app/5Qisn5N

You can now get signed copies of Autumn Antics at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly 🐸!

My favourite thing about drawing frogs is all the expressions, so I started drawing all the things a frog might do in a day (and all the emotions that go with them) I think it will be especially great for adding a fun touch to journals, calendars or scrapbooks :)

Exciting mail today! Thank you to @libcomix.bsky.social for the honour of the Outstanding Comic Award 🥹 I wish I could have joined to celebrate all the beautiful comics and to cheer on the amazing artists who make them. One day!! Until then, I will proudly display this amongst my books

I got to do the cover and some interiors for Zanni Louise's new book 'K-Pop Superfans: Battle of the Bands'! I had so much fun designing outfits (and adding lots of glitter)

This bug was me this past week disappearing into the wilderness 🏕

Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

Thanks for drawing my man 🧛‍♂️🩸!

Revenge on Raphael for @paigewalshe.bsky.social ! #artfight #artfight2026

I am on the hunt for two artists to recommend for the two scripts I've just been contracted for through Scholastic, soooo...if you are a cartoonist who finds a sweet older midgrade romcom set in New England in the fall totes your cup of hot apple tea..MESSAGE ME. (before end of July)

I hear it's #PortfolioDay ! I'm Paige, a comic artist and illustrator from Montreal. I love drawing everything from the super cute to the super spooky, as long as there's some magic ✨️☀️ Let's connect!

Another Artfight attack, this time Charlotte for user CaptainM

Thank you!! 🥳🍂

We loved @paigewalshe.bsky.social 's first Froggy book, and like Autumn Antics even better. It's funny, and there's joy in discovery and friendship. @flyingeyebooks.bsky.social theslingsandarrows.com/froggy-autum...

My graphic novel 'Froggy: Autumn Antics' is out today in Canada and the US. I made a special comic about my mom for the special day 🐸💚

MY BOOK COMES OUT TOMORROWWW!!!

First Artfight attack for @sygnin.com I had to pick Catarax because his flame armour looked so cool and I had to give it a shot. If I do more attacks they'll probably also be traditional!

Made myself into a magical trading card! You want me to do illustrations for your project sooo bad 🪄✨️🌀 pretty please🔮✨️🌀 (If that spell worked you can email my agent at emily@thebrightagency.com! I'm currently available for short-term work)

Portraits for my friends of their little baby angels 🐈☀️

Successfully resisted the green-goblin-mask-call of the kitchen scissors demanding I try cutting my own bangs again... but now the bleach is looking at me (I have failed several attempts at both. I have no business thinking I should give myself calico stripes or any other diy hair treatment)

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes
