Happy 5th birthday #kidlitartpostcard! Join us in making (or collaging) a caricature challenge to celebrate. I’m repped by Kathleen Rushall @andreabrownlit.bsky.social and most interested in illustrating graphic novels for emerging readers. #kidlitart #selfportrait #meettheartists

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.
Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
