Hey #kidlit illustrators!

We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore.

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.

Meet Pipo, the totem barbarian. He doesn't have a Bear totem, he has a Fat Walrus.

Jewish orgs Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Association are giving out interest-free loans to LGBTQ+ folks who need to re-locate but can’t afford it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH.

“The idea that people were having to pick up and flee their homes was something that resonated Jewishly.”

Persecuted for being LGBTQ+ in Trump country, they now have a chance to start over someplace new

Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are fighting persecution by offering loans to those who need to flee,

Tens of thousands defy Hungary’s ban on Pride in protest against Orbán

Crackdown on Pride is part of effort to curb democratic freedoms ahead of a hotly-contested election next year Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Budapest in defiance of the Hungarian government’s ban on Pride, heeding a call by the city’s mayor to “come calmly and boldly to stand together for freedom, dignity and equal rights”. Jubilant crowds packed into the city’s streets on Saturday, waving Pride flags and signs that mocked the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, as their peaceful procession inched forward at a snail’s pace.

3rd batch of ko-fi Pride doodles!

Thanks @lupusincredulus.bsky.social, @optix2020.bsky.social, @m4n3ctr1c.bsky.social and @rodrigojacobos.bsky.social !

$A doodle of a shirtless male lizardfolk with a mechanical right arm holding a spanner in his left wearing a leather work apron around his waist. He has the appearance and markings of a gila monster. The palm of his mechanical right hand is open with two lenses protruding from it and a light beaming through it is refracted into the colours of the rainbow pride flag.$ A doodle of a male anthro dragon with a goatee and long hair wearing pants, a wide brim hat and a button up shirt holding a sword with both hands while looking at the viewer with a smirk. The blade of the sword is coloured with the bi pride colours.

A doodle of a male anthro possum and a male anthro squirrel with dark fur standing shoulder to shoulder and looking at one another and smiling. They are dressed in medieval fantasy clothes, the possum in a bi pride-coloured tunic with a flute hanging from his belt and the squirrel is dressed like a dashing rogue with the bi coloured vest over his shirt.

A doodle of a shirtless fat and muscular male anthro wild boar with a hairy chest and arms flexing his muscles while smirking at the viewer. He is wearing gym shorts in the colours of the rainbow pride flag.

Still use this pic as pfp on some platforms. This was from 2011, good ol pencil on paper. I don't remember what I did this piece for, maybe nothing - back then I drew whatever I wanted just because I could.

A doodle of a chubby male tabaxi in a tunic kissing a smaller male dragonborn with a shocked expression on his face. There's a thought bubble containing a gay pride flag above the dragonborn's head with three question marks, to indicate confusion as to whether this means he is actually gay.

A doodle of a chubby male geriatric and bearded minotaur with a pipe in his mouth, a floppy leather hat and a cane in his right hand. There is a speech bubble coming from him with the words: "Kids these days... they're even gayer than me!" He's also wearing a ribbon around his neck with the gay bear pride colours.

A doodle of a male anthro hyena looking and smiling back at the viewer pointing towards a rainbow pride flag printed on the back of his t-shirt.

A doodle of a male dragonborn ranger and a male dragonborn wizard holding one another at the waist and looking up at a spell that the wizard is casting with his right hand that is the colours of the bi pride flag.

I had the great pleasure of doing the cover illustration of @tessagratton.bsky.social 's upcoming book 'The Mercy Makers', for @orbitbooks.bsky.social ! ✨

Cover illustration of 'The Mercy Makers' by Tessa Gratton, painted by Eleonor Piteira. A cocky dark-haired woman in a red dress with a mask made of magic is smirking at the viewer as she manipulates golden geometric threads with her hands. The hand with the red silk glove is removing a thread, the other is holding a sort of stylus and drawing a new thread. Below, there is the silhouette of a city, and one moon.

My first completed illustration of the year is a follow up to one of my most popular illustrations (linked below). This new one is titled "Fealty." 😁

We peer through ornate curtains at a king kneeling before a man in armor who stands before him. The king gazes up at the knight and is in the process of shrugging out of his ornate robes, which trail behind him. The knight cradles the king's face in one hand, and the king has a hand on the knight's armored leg.

This is Daisy, my daughter's Emotional Support Bunny. I stitched a jacket to go with a skirt I made a while ago. I'm hoping she will be looking smart in time for Easter.

What ever is going on? Got a bunch of follows. They all had a variation of this profile description, prolly with fake names and stolen pics.

...because queer artist + Pride month? That's a whole new flavour of homophobia. I am mildly amused.

Finch, wind elementalist. Made him for an on-going game in a custom system. Took a while to figure out how to rp him, but now I love it.

Maanda, twilight cleric cervitaur, who doesn't understand metaphors. His archaic speech pattern drove me crazy, but I loved him anyway.
