They stepped in and did some HEROIC last minute flatting work for my big OGN project. 5⭐! Fully recommend!

Check out this SUPER COOL cover of @vvjonez.bsky.social's OGN - MARTY MILAGROS DOOMS THE EARTH! I got the chance to assist with flats and colors!

The books is very beautiful with super cool art and writing! ✨🛸

If you get self-conscious about posting repeated promo, let me give you all my long-standing promo-hack, for free. (I'm not currently using it, but I will be soon! lol)

This is a site without an algo, but also one that does not punish links. So what you want to do is make a strategic thread.

This morning's wake up call was a good reminder that sometimes we just need to enjoy the good things when they're happening :)

Yay! Maeve deserves ALL the honors!

I'd argue it's worse than a blank page, in the same way that garment pieces cut slightly off the grain are worse than not having cut yet.

When a thing is wrong, it will suck your energy into making it Less Wrong, which is often not the same as making it right.

One of my biggest projects as a flater this year had its cover released not too long ago.

They were a dream to work with on my massive OGN! 6/5 🌟!

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

2025 remains a little too on the nose

Two poses of a goose character. In the first, she’s running and looks scared. She’s wearing a winter coat, scarf and hat. In the second, she’s standing, wearing a nice springtime outfit.

Working up a goose character for a picture book story I have on the back burner. #kidlitart #illustration #characterdesign

Check out the cover reveal for @vvjonez.bsky.social 's graphic novel, MARTY MILAGROS DOOMS THE EARTH!
Marty is a payaso (according to his mami), but now he has an alien AI living in his brain & might accidentally end the world. Or... save it? This funny MG graphic novel series is SO worth the wait!

Cover Reveal! (About time.)

Having turned in final art for my OGN (yay!!) I finally made time to try and revive my sadly neglected blog. Please to enjoy a cover reveal! open.substack.com/pub/veronica...

Hi #kidlitartpostcard! I’m Veronica, sticking my head up every once in a while from coloring GN pages to see what everyone’s up to. I love sci-fi, fantasy and adventure! This is from a comic where 2 cousins find powerful mecha and need to save their city while the local superhero guardian is away.

💜

Thanks for the RTs!

Eep! I almost forgot it's #KidLitArtPostcard day!
Here's a spread I did from from LIKE THAT ELEANOR (a picture book written by Lee Wind & illustrated by ME!) of Eleanor and her papi booping noses.

A watercolor painting of a 2 friends, an orange toad in a cute swimsuit and fun, floppy sun hat and a green frog in a tank top and red cap. Both are enjoying the warm summer day, sitting on toadstools as they eat their ice cream (with fly sprinkles!)

Happy #kidlitartpostcard! I love creating characters with rich backstories. I love ice cream even more. 😁

Hi all! I’m looking to hire a #comics flatter immediately. I’m working on a sci-fi OGN for kids in CSP with a deadline coming up soon. Please DM with samples of flatting/color if interested. Thanks!

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

Black History Month reminds us that the fight for justice and equality is ongoing. As we honor the trailblazers who paved the way, let’s remain vigilant against those who seek to undermine our progress. Our history teaches us resilience; our future demands our action. #BlackHistoryMonth

A fact I like to point out in my classes is that by the beginning of the Civil War, every white-controlled Christian denomination in the American South had developed a pro-slavery theology and adopted it as their official position- except for the Quakers.

Teachers and schools need to know that we are not required to give up our kids. We do not have to open our doors to ICE or the police. Morally, obviously, but also legally. We are our students' legal guardians when they are in our care and we should be making the right call for students' safety.

Trippy panel I inked today from my upcoming OGN, Marty Milagros DOOMS the Earth.
