Top tip to keep your posts accessibility-inclusive cos we know what happens when folks start accepting the de-legitimisation of disability access and inclusion.

#alt4me will summon a volunteer, and @alt-text.bsky.social will auto-generate alt text as a reply to a single image with only text, so it's easy to include!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! 🌼🌸🌼🌸

I'm an illustrator repped by @charlottewenger.com & I would love to work on more picture books, book covers, & middle grade projects. I love vintage imagery, nature scenes, animal characters, & curious little objects! #kidlit #illustration

It's #KidLitArtPostcard Day!
Here's a hope-filled sunrise equine piece based on a folktale from the Welsh ancient text, Mabinogion.
Always drawing my own versions of folktale stories!

I have just remembered that the first Thursday of each month is #KidLitArtPostcard day and is it possible I can still remember this awareness in 3 days' time?!

Ugh another #astrologergood moment.

Susan's work is fascinating, she keeps me more informed about Europe than most can, especially with not watching mainstream news.
This episode on Chiron-Eris though!
Mercury conjunct BM Lilith and even I was grumpy AF!! 😂
Great episode ✨

An observation test for you - for your inner 8 year-old

“The artist has hidden 12 things in this picture. How many can you find?”

Official answers coming soon

(Even if you don’t reply, could you please ‘like’ or share this one? 🙏)

Black-and-white picture of two children playing in woodland. Also in the picture, there are 12 hidden animals including an owl, a bat and a squirrel.

After I've thoroughly learnt & digested the Welsh folklore & Irish & Scottish folklore, Japanese folklore is next!
That's in between all the ancient mythology I absolutely must understand better!

How many lifetimes do I need to get through it all, though...?
#folktales #folklore #MythologyMonday

curious ordinary @curiousordinary.bsky.social · Oct 6

My final book recommendations for today's #MythologyMonday are for anyone looking for Japanese folktales. The first book by Yei Theodora Ozaki is a collection of the most well-known Japanese tales and the second book by Keisuke Nishimoto is a larger collection containing many lesser known tales.

Two books, Japanese Folktales has an illustration of Kintaro on the cover, Strange Tales from Japan has a ghostly figure on the front.

Deep into my 8H stellium & 12H learning at the moment and am feeling seen!
I am that person who will bring up death as a topic of conversation,
who feels energy deeply,
and sees
(mostly unclearly)
and knows
(most annoyingly cos I just 'know', ya know?)
and my Cap 6º Syzygy Sabian Symbol?

Still coming out of a nodal square to my 11H Neptune, but as it does the nodes get closer to exactly squaring my 5H Moon.
Ahhh not the best day for me to be trying to figure stuff out I suppose.

Yvie Juniper-Johnson @yviejohnson.com · Sep 27

Woke up at a very late 3.30pm with vertigo! Not what I was expecting seeing as rest is supposed to be very good for my health right now.
Checked the transits, and Moon is conj my MC squaring my 8H Jupiter. Is it that? 🤔
Or is the Saturn opposing my 8H Mars still in play?

ID of Yvie's Substack post:
Text reads "Eclipsey." Text is light lettering on a dark strip going across an illustration of mountains with two birds in a clear sky, trees and foliage in front. In the foreground is a wooden bowl with a reflection of the mountains, lightning strikes and bare trees.

It's been 6 months and 3 days since the last Equinox (go figure) and the start of a new illness. You could say we're lucky I don't post more often?

A positive read considering the state of the world for disabled folks at the moment.

The sky would have had this look at the time I was born! Thanks for sharing, have often wondered what my waning crescent Moon conjunct Venus would look like in the sky 💕

It's #KidLitArtPostcard Day!
Here's a marine-life and mountain view piece for our nature-loving learners. I'm currently live streaming my KidLit wildlife art process on Twitch, I love to bring rich colours to my work with my own stories of their tales.

#KidLit #Illustration #Wales

yviejohnson.com

Digital illustration by Yvie Johnson is a portrait of the ocean, with a whale swimming underneath the water, light streaming through the water towards the whale, with lots of coral and small marine life at the bottom of the image. Above the ocean water level is a mountain range, three birds flying in the sky just above the skyline. Behind the mountains are clouds stretched across the sky, the sky is colourful and also arched behind the mountains going from light yellow at the sky line to purple at the top of the image where there are faint stars. Text at the bottom reads: "Yvie Juniper-Johnson. Yvie Johnson dot com. Illustrator and Writer."
