It's way past time to start a 2026 #CopyrightPageArtNotes thread! Got a whole stack to share today!

(If you're unfamiliar with the concept: in the fine print of the copyright page in many picture books, you can find a sentence or two about how the art was made. It's a fun treasure hunt!)

💫 DID YOU KNOW many picture books have a note on the copyright page about how the illustrations were made? They're reliably interesting + sometimes funny or poignant or odd. I had a multi-year #CopyrightPageArtNotes thread of them at the other place. I think it's time to restart on Bluesky.(1/?) 🔎

Please check out @thefinestmuffins.bsky.social whole thread featuring copyright page art notes. It’s so fascinating and beautiful! 🎨

Thank you for sharing At the Cookout! 💗

"The art was human made using Procreate." -At the Cookout (2026) by @ariadelsole.bsky.social 🔎 #CopyrightPageArtNotes

Photo of a picture book, At the Cookout (2026) by Nadia Fisher. Illustration depicts a family having a cookout on a green hillside in front of a couple of brick houses, a bunch of wafting barbecue smoke obscuring the houses. In the foreground is a little Black girl facing the reader, wearing a blue and yellow t-shirt, dark pink shorts, bubble braids, and a smile. Behind her on the right are a grandmother with curly gray hair, wearing a green dress, white pants, and pink shoes, her arm around a boy with a light blue shirt, orange shorts, and red sneakers, holding a paper plate full of food. Behind the girl on the other side are two kids chasing one another, one a boy with glasses wearing all blue, the other a girl with braids wearing a pink shirt, blue shorts, and light blue sneakers. Behind them, a teenage or preteen kid tends to the grill, wearing a white shirt and salmon-pink shorts.
