I'm going on sub with a really funny MG GN (about a clueless prince who'd rather interview monsters than battle them) and, as you might guess, the series is full of cool monsters!
But these two are my favorites <3

Fellow kidlit comic artists: How messy are your first round of sketches? Do you find yourself cleaning them up before sending to editors? I'm rarely, if ever, brave enough to send my first round sketches. 😂

For me, it’s that there will always be a time during the process of making a thing where I absolutely despise everything about it. I need to stop, take a break from it, and come back to it and see if I feel the same way *before* I decide to scrap it. I always forget that it’s coming.
Post office run in six hours, it’s a good time to grab something from the shop and get speedy shipping :) all while supporting a trans artist!
I got 7 orders this month, not bad but I know I can do better 🌞

This was useful & interesting last time, so I'll try again: ISO a Black comics artist for a short, 2-color, YA historical & contemporary graphic NF project. Atmosphere more moody/realistic than superhero, manga, or cute. If you have suggestions or links to a portfolio, please drop them below!
Happy 5 year anniversary to #KidLitArtPostcard day! To celebrate, here is a drawing and throwback pic to my childhood in Cuba (it was my job to pet the dog & collect the eggs). 🎉

The more I draw this early reader #comic, the more I want to pitch an animated show about them! ♥️

- Cute ghost friend obsessed with cookies? ✔️
- A (not-so-scary) haunted house with a new monster friend in each ep? ✔️✔️✔️
