An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals!

This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?!

Please let me know if you receive an email like this!

Because I have a cartoon mind whenever I see a pair of abandoned shoes I always look up. Just in case....

I didn't have a lot of time to draw my #inktober illustration. I'll try to do more.

It’s #InktoberDay4! Who better to collect treats on #Halloween than this beloved figure of childhood? That’s right, it’s an Indentured Candy Servant! Watch as they merrily sing and get candy, blissfully unaware that the smaller shirt collar saved them from litigation! #Inktober

It’s #InktoberDay9! Some people are hard to find, but the striped shirt, glasses and beanie are the unmistakable trademarks of this beloved picture book character! That’s right, it’s Missing Boy, quite possibly Spirit #Halloween’s laziest effort to skirt legalities! #Inktober

I have finally finished a wee project for myself!These Lord of the Rings, nesting dolls, featuring Galadriel, Arwen and Eowyn. Made from a set of paint-your-own nesting dolls that a kid had scribbled on and were 50p from a charity shop!

"Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." - Judy Blume

#BannedBooksWeek #CensorshipIsSo1984 #LibrarySky

Quote from Judy Blume reads "Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." An illustration shows a young girl reading a book on a green bean bag. The cover of the book says "I love to read." Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, based on a character from The Pain and The Great One.
