got some quite big life changes going on so dialling down my presence on social media and won't be sending out a newsletter for the foreseeable. Will still be making books and art but quietly. Long live my website though, that I built myself 😇, always at www.kipalizadeh.net
any artists who use an iPad, which one do you have/recommend? #illustration #KidLitArt
nearly time to get on a plane and play Pokémon LeafGreen by the pool 🌞
Original art for I Can Fly cover by Mary Blair (1951). After posting this several years ago, someone pointed it out to me that Craig McCracken (@cmcccartoons.bsky.social) now owns this piece.

A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles.
Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.
