cute! good luck with the dummy!
I've been so grateful to work with @jenfierjasinski.com on some of my picture book manuscripts. Her feedback was super insightful, and I can't wait to get my edits done and hear her perspective!

I hope you find the perfect illustrator to bring the project to life!
What a fun and adorable study! I think either looks great for kid lit. B reminds me a little of the artwork in the picture book Knight Owl - there's room for lots of styles! Both look great :)
2024 projects and illustrations I'm most proud of :) I enjoy making these so I can go back and see the progress and directions I've made over the years.

Final prompt was BLOSSOM.

Thanks! It was fun to play with and see what worked!
#folktaleweek prompt DEPTH for today! I'm rather proud of this one. Water is always a challenge, but it's so cool!

Day three of #folktaleweek was a challenge. The prompt BLIGHT didn't come as easily to me as some of the others. @folktaleweek.bsky.social

I'm seeing all the posts about favorite classics, and it definitely looks fun :)
This might be a quick way to de-mystify some of these social media events - I never quite figured them out on any platform, and this looks so simple! I'll have to try to participate next time!
Here's a short video showing how I use @deck.blue to attend a slow chat like @kidlitchat.bsky.social on Bluesky! More info about Bluesky slow chats (as well as text-based info) at publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/ho...

Feel free to share anyone who needs it! Looking forward to #kidlitchat tonight. 💙
#folktaleweek continues! It's been fun and daunting to play with this simpler style. @folktaleweek's prompt for today was GATE.

I'm finally participating in #folktaleweek! Thanks @folktaleweek for hosting! I'm using this opportunity to play with a very different, simpler style than I often use, and I'm excited to see how it goes. Today's prompt was MIST.
The journey awaits...
