Some of the alternate Animorphs sketches I pitched for "The Invasion." Ngl I had a deep fondness for the 1980s/1990s school picture vibe of #1 with the double exposure portrait with full body transformation inbetween.

I feel the memories of sitting and reading these books in the middle school library coming back just by looking at these. What a brilliant way to update these covers whilst remaining faithful to the essence and artistic legacy that came before; truly fantastic work here!
About a year ago I was approached by Scholastic to pitch sketch ideas for the reprinting of Animorphs. After cryingscreamingbarfing I said YES OF COURSE. I am so grateful to have been chosen and for the enthusiasm everyone has expressed so far. David Mattingly left me some very big shoes to fill!

Addendum: They did not cook
If anything this has only made me appreciate gwitch all the more for what it is and how unlikely we are to get a Gundam like it again.

Saw Gundam Gquuuuuux: Beginning today in the cinema. That was some damn fine Gundam right there. Early days yet but there's the chance that Khara and Sunrise are really cooking something here. #Gquuuuuux #Gundam

Most ardent Neville Chamberlain cosplayer of all time right here.
It is time to look to the future.
The challenges that face America are many and great.
The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

I desperately need people to understand that you cannot make children's shows the only media you engage with because it means you will sound like a child when you try to tell me how adult it is. I love kid's shows but they don't challenge you. Expand your horizons, I beg you
Fun shows that are nevertheless flawed and for children which inherently limits them in ways adult media, that is media which assumes an audience that is mature, is not. I enjoyed both of them. SU doesn't hold up to much past the surface and ATLA is very orientalist with shallow politics

this is not where our lives end, even if it feels like the opposite must be true.

Finished KIMMY by @badambulist.bsky.social and I can't remember the last time a book left such a cathartic impact on me as this one. Astonishing level of writing and quite possibly her best work to date.
I cannot even begin to describe the feelings this left me with.
Please read this book.
