Happy first #kidlitartpostcard of 2025!

I'm Angeli, an illustrator & comic artist working on querying ✨something✨ this year, plus posting NEW illustrations & comics, so stay tuned!

Anyway, I'd love to run away to see the northern lights, hence this month's theme

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

On the right is dimitri, letting his cape fly and underneath are the other characters of the class, Dedue, Felix, Sylvain, Ingrid, Annette, Mercedes and Ashe. digital illustration of Ike and Soren from Fire Emblem.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

A fun thing about writing comics is when you're trying to figure out the SFX for a very specific thing and so you just sit at your desk making sounds for a few minutes

x) Happy Dragon Age Day! I do not have time to make an elaborate new illustration but here's a quick #doodle of Garrett Hawke from That One Trailer that I can basically recite by heart xD I played the games out of order, but DA2 left a HUGE impression on me first before I played everything else! 🎨
Digital doodle of the character, Garrett Hawke, from Dragon Age 2. His back faces the viewer as he holds a mage staff with a spear at the end and conjures up fire. There is hand written text that says: There are men that embrace their destiny and show no fear.

happy dragon age day! pls accept old sketches of my most gender love interest emmrich volkarin ✨💀💚

[ #DragonAgeDay ] [ #DragonAge ]
a screenshot of a sketch in Procreate. It's of Emmrich Volkarin from Dragon Age Veilguard. He is in his comfortable camp clothes: a teal waistcoat, a high collar shirt tied together with a golden chain, and a burgandy glove on his right hand. He looks to our left while holding a steaming cup of tea. The steam is green and filled with skulls. Photograph of a page in my sketchbook. The sketch is a bust of Emmrich Volkrain from Dragon Age Veilguard, his eyes are rolled back into his head as he performs a feat of magic. Smoke drifts out of his eyes, and his mouth is slightly open as though taking a breath. He is surrounded by bright green. An illustration study of a screenshot from Dragon Age The Veilguard. It shows Emmrich the necromancer wearing his base outfit and holding the player character Rook back.

For Dragon Age Day and I want to say thank you all the people who helped bring Dragon Age to life. All the writers, animators, artists, actors, coders, QA and literally everyone who helped shape all the amazing worlds and characters in Dragon Age. This series changed my life and I'm so thankful ♥️

Winter is relatively devoid of color, and a stand of dense conifer trees can be almost imposing. But when the sunlight shines through, the snow appears to glow and illuminates the surroundings with a variety of colors that contrasts with the dark trees.

For any of you artists out there who are at a loss with the way things are going right now, just remember Mr. Rogers' words of wisdom.

I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

Rereading LOTR and I forgot what a catty b Bilbo is
Frodo was waiting on the step, smiling, but looking rather tired and worried. He welcomed all the callers, but he had not much more to say than before. His reply to all inquiries was simply this: 'Mr. Bilbo Baggins has gone away; as far as I know, for good.' Some of the visitors he invited to come inside, as Bilbo had left 'messages' for them. Inside in the hall there was piled a large assortment of packages and parcels and small articles of furniture. On every item there was a label tied. There were several labels of this sort: For Adelard Took, for his VERY OWN,from Bilbo; on an umbrella. Adelard had carried off many unlabelled ones. For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large waste-paper basket. Dora was Drogo's sister and the eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo; she was ninety-nine, and had written reams of good advice for more than half a century. For MILO BURROWS, hoping it will be useful, from B.B.; on a gold pen and ink-bottle. Milo never answered letters. For ANGELICA'S use, from Uncle Bilbo; on a round convex mirror. She was a young Baggins, and too obviously considered her face shapely. For the collection of HUGO BRACEGIRDLE, from a contributor; on an (empty) book-case. Hugo was a great borrower of books, and worse than usual at returning them. For LOBELIA SACKVILLE-BAGGINS, as a PRESENT; on a case of silver spoons. Bilbo believed that she had acquired a good many of his spoons, while he was away on his former journey. Lobelia knew that quite well. When she arrived later in the day, she took the point at once, but she also took the spoons.

13 Inspirations - 03: Kingdom Hearts

;') Got a busy day before and after work so no time to color this... But I owe a lot to KH being a formative game with story, music and visuals for my preteen self. Did I make an army of KH-themed OCs and mutliverses? Yes, I did, and I'd do it again, haha 🎨

Every single study that gives cash to homeless folks dramatically reduces homelessness and is staggeringly less costly than incarceration and institutionalization.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Also: writing is a skill not a magic power. It’s furniture building, not communing with the muses. Settle down and just do the work, enjoy it, and stop trying to pretend it’s some deep magical power. It’s a craft. A fun challenging one! But a craft. Relax.

13 Inspirations - 02: Pokemon

As a 90s kid, I was a hUGe Pokemon fan and honestly, still am for the most part. X) My earliest OCs and little comics *were* based on little Pokemon AUs, so gotta tip my hat to Red/Blue and the KidsWB dub for spawning a thousand drawings as a kid 🎨 #kidlit #kidlitart

A programming suggestion for my fellow school librarians. Every winter break I offer book bundles for students and educators. They fill out a form then I pull 3 related books, gift wrap them, and deliver them to each person. It's hella popular and great for collection development.

13 Inspirations - 01: The Lion King

This year is a milestone birthday for me so I wanted to celebrating by making fanarts of work that made a lasting impression on me ! At the top of the list is THE LION KING--some of my earliest memories are of tracing over the VHS cover to copy the art! 🎨 #kidlit
Digital art of Simba from the Lion King: A yellow stylized lion cub Digital art of a toddler drawing on paper while kneeling on the floor; stylized yellow lines burst from her head to represent energy and imagination. Various papers with doodles of animals and a VHS cover of THE LION KING sits beside the child.
