Looking for replacement nibs for my Apple Pencil and thought I’d throw it out there to see if anyone has suggestions for a particular nib that they swear by…?

Not sure if I should even tell @dansantat.bsky.social about this. After all, he's the artist on The Misfits series and I don't want him to feel threatened.

WAIT, it's a bit late but I did Create something new for #Colour_Collective #CCNevadaBeige I give you a mouse in bumble bee costume. I confess it's part of a bigger WIP.

So I got an email from these guys (oddly enough I thought none of my books were even eligible for the Anthropic thing).

ANYWAY it sounded sus and I guess IT IS so if you get a ClaimsHero email just like… bin it already

Friday #kidlit recap: I did not, in fact, get to my newsletter or my long-neglected sketchbook. I did, however, hustle on final book art - getting really close to done. How about you?

I've dropped a new blog post on my website about my journeys with MY LIFE AS AN ASTHMANAUT during back-to-school season, which includes my TV appearance on the now-canceled Fox 8 News Now show. The newsletter version will be sent out soon! #kidlit #picturebooks
