I could not be happier for @jimmygaspero.bsky.social about this. He’s done and doing so much for the community and it will be amazing to hold this book in my hands. Make sure to pre-order it.

Amber’s work on this book is incredible. The story would not be what it is without her ideas, art, colors, and heart. She brought this story to life and I hope for her this is just the first of many graphic novels to come. @almondmilkart.bsky.social

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

I like books, and books for kids, and all ages comics and also working with kids. so now I sell children's books, make children's books, and teach kids. I didn't always want to be an artist or educator (though I did want to be a tattoo artist for a long time!), but the career kind of ....found me 🤷‍♀️
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?
