This new book THE FIB, by @pedroiniguez.bsky.social, I just love so much. Pepe is relatable on many levels as he faces the consequences of one little lie loosed upon his vibrant world. Perfect for children’s gifts, libraries, schools, & anyone who needs a reminder that honesty is a better companion.

Jendia Gammon hold old is a copy of the children’s picture book THE FIB by Pedro Iniguez. The book cover is illustrated by Nathan Kwan, and it features a young boy (Pepe) pulling on the tail of a large, cartoonish monster as though trying to hold it back. The publisher is Gloo Books.

No, weather changes aren't a trigger for me. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather; I'll sleep better.

Usually it's a week, all told. The nausea, the aura, the headache, the fatigue... debilitating.

Could only work on art today, but managed to get outside during this nasty migraine. Now to retreat.

Finished my custom bookmarks to take to a convention and give out to some very lucky readers! These are mixed media with watercolor, shimmery fountain pen ink, micron ink, color pencils, some acrylics, and metallic paint pens.

My least favorite uninvited guest, the migraine, has appeared and decided to make itself cozy. Therefore, I shall bid you all adieu for the rest of today, barring anything interesting happening.

I slept for a few hours, but I always wake up right around three and then I either stay awake or I don’t. Typically I get up at five anyway no matter what.

I would prefer it wasn’t 3:21 AM with me wide awake but that’s life. Hope you have a good day.
