In stores May 19. Many people, including myself, added notes, comments, thoughts, drawings, & extra comics to this edition! Pre-order here: bookshop.org/p/books/gend... more photos & gratitude in thread.

I *gasped* when I saw this. I read like 1,500+ picture books last year and MR. S was my absolute #1 favorite of all of them. I look forward to hopefully listening to your conversation with her! (I'm not on Instagram, but watch the YouTube reposts). Thanks so much for doing these!

I bow to your superior internet skills 🙏

Thanks again so much for this! I showed it in a meeting yesterday with a friend I'm collaborating with on an animated short, and it was so helpful, unlocking lots of fun ideas for us.

I owe you one! Holler if there's ever anything I can do for you!

It was it! :D

OMG, this is it! Thank you SO MUCH Gale!!! How did you find it??? I was going crazy searching all these terms and still not finding it.

Hey #animation folks, I've been searching for an old animation loop but can't seem to find it.

It was a bunch of short vignettes strung together - all "near misses" - a basketball bouncing off the rim, a pencil tip breaking, etc.

Clean 2D with limited pastel color palette. Motion graphics. ???

The Vermont Animation Festival kicks off tomorrow! (Friday 4/17). Free screenings, workshops, artist talks, etc. www.vtanimationfestival.org

He's also posting it on WebToon Canvas www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ou...

He'll be collecting it in print editions via Kickstarter starting later this year. I'm so pumped about this new comic by one of my favorite cartoonists, AND how he's approaching the whole thing! Self-publishing FTW!!!

Text reads: Alec Longstreth www.alecillustration.com Four watercolor illustrations are shown. In comics order: 1) an octopus frantically cleans a room while a small packrat looks on in delight, 2) a beaver chews up his pencil in class while all his friends look on in horror, 3) and elephant pushes a baby and dog on a carriage while running. She shouts "WHEEE!!!" and the dog hollers "AWOOO!!!", and 4) a little girl is on a walk in the rain with her dad. She points out a squirrel that is climbing a nearby tree.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day, everyone!

Here is a sample illustration I created for a pitch that made the rounds last year. Ink, watercolor and a bit of Photoshop. This was for a picture book I was developing with James Sturm.
