So saddened to hear about Gary Kelley’s passing. Kelley has been my favorite illustrator since i’ve been in art school, and you cannot overstate the level of influence he’s had on the American illustration cannon. One of the greatest to ever do it, and A terrible loss
A fairytale fantasy romance with a twist? That's what Mari Costa provides in Forgive-Me-Not. @marinscos.bsky.social @01firstsecond.bsky.social "impressively designed variations on mythical creatures". theslingsandarrows.com/forgive-me-n...
In a sketchy, conceptual way of creating lately. Figuring things out, taking my time, and glad to have the space to do that.
Let this be a warning to my friends who like to dress up…I’ve unlocked a new way to misuse my drawing abilities >:) (jk ilu Emily, who I don’t think is on this platform?)
Eventually, I pushed too far and broke my Imposter Syndrome and it burst into tears all “I’m just trying to protect you!!” And I said “I know, and I appreciate it. That’s why I always make time to engage in conversation with you.” And then we kissed (jk)
Idk, but the way I’ve dealt with imposter syndrome is by reframing it as a guest rather than a herald. Engage it in conversation! It doesn’t much to say, I promise. Kind of tends to repeat itself and is unable to answer many questions.
reactions to the green nymph has shown a painful lack of John Bauer awareness in my anglophone audience. these are swede trolls don't let hollywood fool you

Happy #WerewolfWednesday! This panel pretty succinctly captures the vibes of my comic, #TheFarmerAndTheWolf
This is the thing I want to stress to people who are used to the illustrated kids’ book space. You’re used to being done when you hand in the words. In comics, the writing isn’t done until the pictures are done because the pictures are also writing.
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 7mo agoSo part of being a good comics writer is being able to really quickly tweak things to eliminate random problems while maintaining or even improving the dramatic and emotional impact of the scene. It's hard! But it's also hugely fun! Lemons --> lemonade, every dang day!
Eccc!!! Next week!! bringing this lovely Seattle exclusive muppet poster with meeee 💖 come see me and my friend @rachelcherryart.bsky.social in Artist Alley K12!!! #eccc #eccc2026
My biggest and pettiest peeve about WH discourse is the pervasive myth that Heathcliff successfully kills Isabella’s dog. Nelly saves her and she’s alive to greet Isabella excitedly later in the book. I’m so sick of he “made a gift of her dead dog to her on their wedding” SToOP
🌹 Volume I and Book 1 of The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya begins today! thecarpetmerchant.reimenayee.com/comic/volume... We start with Zeynel in the middle of tempting a client with magnificent carpet wares, and with me contending with the fact that I'd be drawing so many elaborate patterns.
I managed to stay pretty nonchalant about the Frankenstein adaptation discourse but guys….i am getting actual psychic damage from the Wuthering Heights of it all. I’m not talking about the movie guys…like people do not get this book and it keeps me up at night!!!!!
“Robinhoods of Havana”, about Cuba’s current-day complicated and surprisingly semi-illegal skateboarding scene. The project has taken different forms since, still trying to find a good medium for it, but would still love to do this one day soon 🤞

I’ve never drawn anything with such ease or creative contentment in my life I think. It’s all downhill from Divine Manatee.
