How my family's been spending the evenings the past few days. I'd say it's the silliest pup puzzle we own, but we also have one featuring 101 pooping dogs.

My current alternative to doom scrolling, now that I've finished my book of sudoku puzzles. Will need to invest in some crossword puzzles too.

Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can conjure hilariously expressive animals with commercial appeal for a character-driven picture book that's packed with dialogue and action.

Respond here with images and a link to your folio.

Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email. 💙❤️

I had a dream the other night that my glasses broke but I still had to drive somewhere even though I couldn't see very well. And honestly, if that doesn't sum up the creative process, I don't know what does.
