@lpiotrowski80.bsky.socialReposted by @joycekay.bsky.socialNow is the perfect time to pre-order The Northbound Train. It’s getting reading to leave the station. The pub date is 1/5/2027. All aboard! Pre-order at bookshop.org/beta-search?bk… or Amazon, etc.

@laurapiggott.bsky.socialReposted by @joycekay.bsky.socialSome days, you spend all day working on a cat, because even though you have 3, you forget how to draw a cat. Has anyone studied the effects of menopause brain fog on illustrators? Just so we’re clear, I’m not asking for a friend…

@laurapiggott.bsky.socialReposted by @joycekay.bsky.socialNothing says “cozying up to spooky season” like a good, gothic cover.
What’s everyone reading right now? I just started “The Once and Future Witches” by Alix E. Harrow and I’m finding it to be the perfect addition to my morning coffee.

@joycekay.bsky.social47 years, yall. The secret? Marry someone you like.
@joycekay.bsky.socialI have three different clients who, when we come to the end of an email exchange, send me a red heart. They dont know each other, so its a spontaneous thing. I'd like them all to know it kinda makes my day to get those little hugs at the end of a conversation. You know who you are ❤️
@joycekay.bsky.socialAnother sale for Katie!
@joycekay.bsky.socialLove this!
@laurapiggott.bsky.socialReposted by @joycekay.bsky.socialChallenging myself to put in the work to get the work I want, so there’s no better way to start a daily art intention than with a middle-grade, Halloweenie scene.
Will this become cover art? Interior art? Stay tuned!
