Wandering back into bluesky 🙂↕️🙂↕️
Aww thank you! Glad it made an impact 🐌
A sketchbook page of the interior of a laundromat in grey marker and blue pen.
A sketch of a street corner in grey marker and blue pen.
Challenging myself to draw compositions I like instead of taking a picture
Spent my day making art and feeling a sense of whimsy and joy that an ai ‘artist’ will never experience
I just overthink every little thing lmfao
This literally sounds like heaven 🥺
I can post on image based socials all the time no problem but it’s struggle with Twitters/blueskys/threads. I simply don’t know what to say!!
Gabbie Benda’s art postcard. The illustration is a warm forest scene with a fairy sitting under a tree trunk.

Actually criminal that I can’t spend my whole day playing kcd2 😔😔😔
Making the most diabolical synth pop playlist to listen to while I work on my book because I know my main character would have it on repeat 😌😌
Some of my recent sketchbook spreads ✨
An illustration by Gabbie Benda of three red tomatoes on a vine with smiling faces.
This time of year has me dreaming of summer produce 🥲
Do you ever get hit with crazy decision fatigue and wander around your house like a sim who keeps getting their actions canceled 🥲
Gabbie Benda’s kid lit art postcard! A pink handheld gaming console on a yellow background. Playing on the console is a farming simulator game. The character has just picked up a fresh turnip.
My first bluesky #kidlitartpostcard day!! ✨
I thought it’d be fun to share my first postcard I ever actually printed and sent out! I’m currently working a couple really exciting projects but always looking to connect with kidlit people :)

Fun fact: if you make a scene of your graphic novel in a library, you then have to actually draw a library and every book on every shelf 🥰🥰
I’ve been really down lately due to well, everything, but DRAGONFORGED comes out next month!! March 11th! I hope it can make people smile in these uncertain times.
An monochromatic illustration by Gabbie Benda. A character sits in a bed of teal moss, distracted by the light shining in their eye.
I know there is still kindness in this world because I feel it
Paintings from France 🌻
I’m usually so hard on myself with coloring, but I’m really happy with the pages I’ve done this week. Watching my debut come together has been so 🥺🥺😭
You’re a good man, Arthur Morgan 😔😔😔 #rdr2
Someone should sit down every person who wants to be a full time artist and tell them how swiftly sitting like a shrimp will catch up with them 😭😭
