It’s so wonderful to hear that artists are enjoying Art Gym! Thank you for sharing @yveskervoelen.bsky.social !!😊

Best investment this year? Art Gym subscription (on Substack) from @adamming.bsky.social and @katiestack.bsky.social !!

Today I practiced emotions and somehow feel a lot more relaxed about it; than I was let’s say an hour ago!

Also, I started a pencil update on my own Substack 🤣

They ARE different languages so this is really exciting! Thank you for sharing!

Hey #kidlit illustrators, I'm looking for an artist who can capture apartment-life in an urban setting for a beginning reader series with a vibrant ensemble cast and a grayscale interior.

Respond here with images and a link to your folio.

Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email.

💙❤️

Hi Brian! Thanks for the opportunity to submit some art. I’m a former reading specialist, so a beginning reader would be such a fun project!

I draw dogs. Lots of dogs. I’ve drawn so many that I had to write a book for all of them.

I’d love to share the full pitch with any agents, art directors, or publishers who have fully illustrated nonfiction for ages 7-10 on their list! 🐶

Whoa, the agency Jacky Winter put together a pretty comprehensive overview of illustration pricing on their new site. The resource list at the bottom is top notch and includes many links that I share with my students. Worth a look!

My first #kidlitartpostcard here on BlueSky so I’d like to share one of my favorite pieces with you 🐉 I’m a Boston based artist who loves drawing cute dogs but also medieval stuff.

Time for s’mores 🏕️🔥🍫

I totally interpreted “grub” differently, oops! I thought of it as food. And SCBWI’s prompt was smoky, so… smoky + food = s’mores 😋

With that, the collection of fall + spooky pets continues!
