#hellobluesky I’m an artist, writer and kidlit 🎨 illustrator. These are my latest lookbook pieces, featuring a page from my new book Dance Fast and its Pomo dancing protagonist (lower right)

Four illustrations from my fall portfolio in a grid. From upper left: two children standing in a parlor full of bunny-like creatures, a fall themed piece of a girl holding an apple and a very oversized worm, a bust of a solemn looking large-eyed girl, Dance Fast’s main characters in full Pomo dance regalia

WHAT DID THEY DO TO US

A cartoon drawing of the comedian Tim Robinson from the sketch comedy series "I Think You Should Leave". He has an angry, unhinged expression, glaring and pointing a finger at the viewer.

Happy birthday to this king of fabulosity

Edward Gorey in a fabulous fur coat and scarf combo. He’s so fashionable the other New Yorkers around him look on with admiration and envy.

It’s an ongoing struggle for sure, I’m hoping it will get easier as they get older!

AR @cribbins.bsky.social · Feb 20

I did actually! What a fun question. I found a continuity error during revisions, stayed quiet about it, and it made it into the book 😂 Hint – something in grandma’s house flips 180 degrees between pages

Hey sorry for the late reply, I’m so touched you enjoyed the book and wrote such a nice recommendation! It’s been so nice hearing from folks, kids or otherwise, who relate to the perfectionism struggle

Drinking the raw milk, or feeding it to unvaccinated children & babies, increases the odds that bird flu will mutate to spread human-to-human

It has a ~55%+ human mortality rate

There wouldn't be enough of us left alive to bury our dead

Thus, our enemies should NOT drink the raw milk
