Children's librarian, aspiring cartoonist, secret witch. I draw comics about library work, book recommendations, and anthropomorphic animals who deliver mail out at sea. I also post my art under the same username on Cara, where it’s more organized.
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I had to read this book for a children’s lit class in grad school. I should really read the first two in the series. #library #weeklytrivia #sue #fossil #bookrecommendation #gonecrazyinalabama #ritawilliamsgarcia #librarianrecommends
My entries for the Helluva Boss Book Report contest! I would've liked to do a third one, but I couldn't come up with any ideas, sadly. Still, it was fun to draw these characters. Looking forward to season 3! #helluvaboss #spindlehorse #hbbookreport #stolas #moxxie #blitzo
This week’s trivia and recommendation. Hope everyone’s having a great summer so far! #library #weeklytrivia #tyrannosaurusrex #fossil #librarianrecommends #bookrecommendation #superbobacafe #nidhichanani
New comic about stories getting retold and exaggerated over time. Who knows how many real myths started out this way. Also, a no-prize to anyone recognizes the name on the lizard's shirt. #comic #sketchbook #seatails #barstories #noprize
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I remember reading Rapunzel’s Revenge when it first came out, and looking back it feels like an early herald of the graphic novel book we’re currently in. #library #weeklytrivia #bookrecommendation #rapunzelsrevenge #shannonhale #deanhale #nathanhale
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I’m a big fan of K. O’Neill. Their art is some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen in comics. #library #weeklytrivia #firstfoodonthemoon #librarianrecommends #bookrecommendation #princessprincesseverafter #koneill
Boy, that’s a lotta bugs! #art #stickers #treehoppers #bugknights #giveaways #natureiswild #artiscalming #relaxation
I had the last week and a half off from work and spent a lot of that time drawing. Not as much as I would’ve liked, even with that much time, but I did draw 22 new treehopper stickers to give away to people. #art #stickers #treehoppers #bugknights #giveaways #natureiswild #artiscalming #relaxation
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I took all last week off, so it’s nice to get back in the swing of things. #library #weeklytrivia #toystory #fifa #bookrecommendation #librarianrecommends #returntosender #verabrosgol
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I’ve also set up the book displays for June. How many titles do you recognize? #weeklytrivia #library #librarianrecommends #bookrecommendation #sircallie #esmesymessmith #bookdisplay #pridemonth #juneteenth #fathersday
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I made a comic featuring this book last year, but you’ll have to do a lot of scrolling to find it. #weeklytrivia #bookrecommendation #himalayas #wishcash #pokemon #aaipmonth #fakechinesesounds #jingjingtsong
I recently spent several relaxing evenings making more treehopper stickers. I make a cup of tea, get a snack, put on a good show in the background, and just go for it. Incredibly calming and rejuvenating. #stickers #handmade #treehoppers #bugknights #natureiswild #artiscalming #relaxation
This week’s trivia and recommendation. The trivia comes from a conversation I had with a kid about Gyarados’ origin and why it’s part Flying-type. #library #weeklytrivia #bookrecommendation #pokemon #wishcash #feothechupacabra #sequoiablankenship #robthompson
It's been quite a while since I've drawn actual humans. But we're overdue for some good library stories. #comic #library #librarian #libraryteacher #uncletonysreptileclub #tomarkettomarker #annemiranda #janetstevens #overheards #actualdialogue #jiggityjig
The folks over at the art workshop Citation Needed hosted a Make Your Own Pokémon program at the library today. This was my contribution. We’ve had a fire cat starter, then a grass cat starter. Now we just need a water cat starter. #art #pokemon #pokemoncards #citationneeded #watertype #washkers
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I believe children are smarter than we give them credit for, so I try to include some more advanced books in my collection for the more ambitious readers. #library #weeklytrivia #saturniidae #bookrecommendation #americanbornchinese #geneluenyang
Honestly this chapter took longer to finish that I would've liked, and I think that's due to being intimidated by the backgrounds I needed to draw. Scenery is not my forte, so I could only do the best I can. Nobody ever said making comics was easy. (3/3) #comic #seatails #mail #penpal #sketchbook
The bats are supposed to be Northern Long-Eared Bats, but despite looking up pictures of that species, I ended up drawing the ears incorrectly. Whoops. If this family ever appears again, expect their designs to be slightly different. (2/3) #comic #seatails #northernlongearedbats #shorthaircat #mail
Finally back with another Sea Tails chapter! This one is based on an anecdote I heard at a wedding last year from an actual mail carrier. (1/3) #comic #seatails #mail #northernlongearedbat #shorthaircat
Just realized it’s been a minute since I’ve shown off my book displays, so, here May’s! How many titles do you recognize? #library #librarian #bookdisplays #mermay #asianamericanpacificislanderheritagemonth #aapi #mothersday
This week’s trivia and recommendation. I fell down a moth hole over the weekend. These particular moths are also the fluffiest and the most colorful moths, with pretty fairy-like hindtails #library #weeklytrivia #moths #bookrecommendation #librarianrecommends #treasureisland #robertlouisstevenson
This week’s trivia and recommendation. A quiet morning deserves a quiet book. And Keven Henkes’ books are always a delight. #library #weeklytrivia #magnoliatrees #bookrecommendation #librarianrecommends #waiting #kevenhenkes
This week’s trivia and recommendation. This book was a favorite of mine as a kid. I liked the methodical pacing and the quiet poignancy. #library #weeklytrivia #matzoball #ninjas #bookrecommendation #librarianrecommends #dearmrhenshaw #beverlycleary
This week’s trivia and recommendation. The weather’s still cold, so now I’m craving some matzo ball soup. #library #weeklytrivia #matzoball #bookrecommendation #itsjeff #kellythompson #gurihiru #jeffthebabylandshark #librarianrecommends
This week’s trivia and recommendation. With all the surprise cameos, it kinda feels like the Mario Galaxy movie won’t really be about Mario Galaxy. Y’know? #library #weeklytrivia #supermariogalaxy #rosalina #bookrecommendation #monsterfriends #kaetivandorn #graphicnovel #comic
I read all three volumes of Haru by Joe Latham last week, and felt inspired to draw one of his little guys meeting one of my littler guys. Of course, my coloring is nowhere near as vibrant as his. Go read Haru. It’s really good. #comic #haru #joelatham #fanart #littleguys #treehopper
This week’s trivia comes from me finishing season 2 of live-action One Piece (it was great!). The recommendation comes from a recent comic I made. #library #weeklytrivia #stpatrick #librarianrecommends #bookrecommendation #pagebypaige #lauraleegulledge
