Not sure why, but I've recently started getting more msgs asking for portfolio critiques or advice for up-and-coming young artists.
Unfortunately I lack the time these days, apologies. I donated a critique & AMA (Ask Me Anything) to #KidLitForLA & look forward to help that particular young illus.

A cartoon of a white adult man in a tattered suit, sitting in front of three children, all gathered around a small campfire in front of a blurry cityscape. The caption reads, "Yes, the planet got destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
@tomtoro.bsky.social's viral New Yorker cartoon is getting attention in the #kidlitforla auction, where you can bid to win a print signed by Tom: www.32auctions.com/organization...

The KidLit for Los Angeles auction is raising funds for wildfire relief efforts.
No-one else in the world will ever have this opportunity. I’ve been saving this book and cup since 2018 to be used for a good cause. Bid at the link in my bio. #KidLitforLA

The cup went down on the same dive. Nicole and I decorated and signed the cup. Then it was secured to the outside of Alvin in a mesh bag. The pressure of the deep-sea shrank the cup! Cups like this are treasured souvenirs of marine scientists who work at sea. #KidlitforLA #MarineScience 🌊

This book and shrunken cup went to the seafloor in DSV Alvin and they can be yours! #KidLitforLA
