i agree. i was always a harvest moon kid. but back in the day with Animal Crossing on Gamecube you could just set the clock forward in the system menu and thats how id play, just to get to the most fun events like halloween. it would get your town crazy full of weeds though

that warms my heart. one of the best projects ive ever been able to work on.

Sam Wolfe Connelly @deadthicket.bsky.social · Jul 30

I am so incredibly happy and privileged to have been a part of bringing this project to life. When I read this book I knew I had something special in my hands and I suggest EVERYONE, middle grade or not to buy a copy

The world is awful right now but sharing some good personal news. ANOTHER made the NYT Bestselling Middle Grade list. Holy crow! (Can’t swear in a middle-grade post). Thank you readers and booksellers and librarians. You all are the best. I ate a burrito from the local taqueria to celebrate!

my house is on a septic system and its the only real cleaning product i can use and its actually been the best. mix that shit with vinegar and youre cooking with gas my friend. an unrecognized hero

Sam Wolfe Connelly @deadthicket.bsky.social · Jul 30

had Jameela as an AD and 11/10 would work again. hell yea, that sentiment is valid as hell

I encourage artists to mention their art directors when posting art. Not because I think ADs must be thanked or credited, but because it makes it easier for other artists to find ADs to contact and cold email!!

It's just another way artists can help artists 🩷

My 3rd cover for the Are You Afraid of the Dark book series with Abrams Books & Nickelodeon that is out now.

Getting to work on covers for one of my favorite shows growing up has been a dream for me. Knowing there are other 'young Sams' out there reading these scary tales warms my cold, dead heart

up&comers who ask me bout getting into the biz, check out stuff like THIS. When asked, not much of what I did right out of college applies to today, its a totally different ballgame. My strat: go to Borders(RIP), jot down addresses in my sketchbook & snailmail hundreds of mailers. dont do that lol
