I wrote this to help people understand that universal basic income is not meant to permanently replace all jobs. It's meant to be a floor below which no one can fall, and a dividend that universally distributes a share of our economy. It's meant to provide the power to say no and freedom to choose.
I am looking forward to a lovely few days in Italy for Bologna’s Children’s Book Fair.
I will be keeping the fair itself low-tech with just a printed portfolio.
Art directors, hit me up. I'll buy the coffee 😁

No, endlessly saying "buy my book" is a sure-fire way to lose an audience. Better to connect around the themes of the book instead and connect with others of similar interest. I'm in the process of writing this guide: www.getlouderlines.com/your-28-day-... but sorry it still needs a formatting edit.
Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!
And happy Artemis II launch day. Good luck on your mission around the moon!

Ok I have seen a GOOD APRIL FOOLS JOKE in the wild.
My kids comic (Phoenix - home if @jamiesmart.bsky.social) comes in an envelope every week, we open it, had a fake cover for a soup review mag like we’d been sent the wrong thing.
Genius!

Urgh. Crowds, books and perspective!
Many illustrators complain about having to do crowd scenes. Can I propose adding piles of books and loads of plants to that list please? Is there a complaints board I can talk to?
Congratulations Marc 🎊
