I’m gonna try to make my books more full of love than ever.
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.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the child I was at 15.

My kid has this bear that I refer to as “topless bear,” which infuriates my kid because they insist that “it’s wearing a shirt!” So I put it to you: what’s up with this bear?

My new picture book, Searching for Wocks, is out June 9! You can preorder it now!

This book is about the joy of discovering tiny objects, and the beauty of what turns up on a toddler’s pockets!

A cozy conversation with an old friend on Monday, for a crowd of 1200+! @goraina.bsky.social came to town with her new book, Facing Feelings, and we had a chat about it, about comics, being comics buds for 20 years, and snakes. You can read more about it on my patreon! www.patreon.com/cw/lucyknisley

Yesterday, on a holiday where kids go door to door connecting with their community, my sweet town was terrorized by government-backed thugs. Our schools locked down. We patrolled the streets, warning vulnerable people to stay inside. Helicopters circled incessantly. ICE get out.

Get ya some buds to go to the re-screened movie from 16 years ago, who will support and assist your very specific costume that will be the *only* costume anyone is wearing at the theater, and therefore the best.

It’s a great day to pick out a bunch of THINGS for your loved ones! Here’s Johnny with his THINGS print. Maybe I should add “excellent beard” to the THINGS database.

I launched The THINGS Project IRL last night at a gallery opening at Twilight Kitchen in Roger’s Park! The owner, Christopher Sullivan, threw an incredible party for the opening. Wonderful folks came to eat great food and celebrate THINGS! Go see the show at T.K.’s market every Sunday from 10-3!

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

This will be the fourth year I’ve made a MICHY minicomic to give out (along with candy) on Halloween! We’re not as great as “the caramel apple house,” but I’ll take “the comic house!”

A French bakery just opened a block away from the existing French bakery in our town, and if anyone knows the details of what is obviously extremely riveting pastry drama, I will pay.
