On the artist hunt again! This time I need sequential artists who are Black and of any gender for a biographical graphic novel project. Anyone who can do quieter moments, the real world, and real people, possibly for B&W rather than color. Send portfolios and recommendations my way!

Update: This is the design that won!! It's also the one I wanted to do the most :) I can't wait to paint this on a storm drain and help raise awareness about keeping Florida's waterways safe!

Let’s have an art show! If you are an artist here on bluesky just respond to this post between now and 9 pm EST with your (non-violent, non-pornographic, non-AI generated) cat-themed art and I will repost it. Also include your etsy store or any other links/info you want shared.

Working on another public mural proposal and I'm trying to navigate that balance between "this is a quirky idea I would be excited to do" and "this is what I know will appeal to the voting council" Luckily I get three submissions so I can kind of throw spaghetti at the wall (council?) this time 😅

The colors and textures keep the whole feeling of this piece so soft and warm. It reminds me of some of my favorite illustration from my childhood but I can't place from where, and maybe it's just a vibe. Wonderful stuff!

Oh cool! My library system down here in Florida does too. I love it because there are so many titles available but I'm in a very populated area so wait times do add up. I'm happy to wait for the service though :)

Agreed! I will also be utilizing my local library system and it's good to have some wiggle room :)

Interested! Especially if titles are released ahead of time so I can take the time to plan and obtain them. This sounds like a fantastic way to learn and connect

I got shiny new packaging for holiday themed orders! After months of working on my portfolio aggressively it’s nice to shift some focus to my shop for the season 😀

Sorry for the silence y’all! I’ve been busy packing and shipping holiday card orders (already!)

It’s my third year selling these dragon designs and I still love them and how people respond to them so much.

How to find them:
