Illustration of a child sitting, wearing a balaclava with antennae in a sandbox, smiling and shedding a single tear, holding a waving ant. There is a row of ants walking towards a sand castle and entering it. There are kids on a swing and a slide in the background.

My name is Denis and I'm an illustrator who sometimes writes. I like hearty stories and combining bold lineart with wonky shapes and subtle painterly textures.

A crop of an illustration of two Anglo-Saxon era lesbians. One is embracing the other from behind, burying her face in her neck while the other smiles joyfully, they are adorned by a background of various patterns inspired by the era.

Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)

Post von Markus Liske:
Es kommt nicht unerwartet, aber das macht es nicht weniger gruselig: Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer hat drei Buchlรคden wegen "verfassungsschutzrelevanter Erkenntnisse" vom Deutschen Buchhandlungspreis ausgeschlossen. Es handelt sich dabei um die sehr guten Buchlรคden The Golden Shop in Bremen, Buchladen zur schwankenden Weltkugel in Berlin und Rote StraรŸe in Gรถttingen, die in der Vergangenheit immer mal wieder mit diesem Preis bedacht wurden, weil sie tolle Konzepte haben und tolle Lesungen veranstalten. Was den Kulturstaatsminister stรถrt, ist offenbar allein die Tatsache, dass die drei sich explizit als links verstehen. Und weil sich das vor allem darin ausdrรผckt, dass man dort viele linke Bรผcher von linken Verlagen erwerben kann, kรถnnen wir nun sicher die Uhr danach stellen, dass auch linke Verlage vom Deutschen Verlagspreis ausgeschlossen werden (wie es das rechtspopulistische Pรถbelmedium Nius ja bereits gefordert hat) und linke Autorinnen und Autoren keine Bundesfรถrderungen mehr bekommen. Die AfD wird's freuen, dass ihr die CDU/CSU mit dieser Bereinigung der Kulturfรถrdertรถpfe von linkem Gesocks Arbeit abnimmt. Muss sie dann nicht mehr machen.

Broad claims about gender and behavior fall apart when studies include ethnically diverse samples Behavioral economics relies heavily on studies of Western, educated people. A recent analysis provides evidence that ignoring racial diversity within the United States has led to flawed generalization...

"The research suggests that generalizations about human behavior are often flawed because they rely on samples composed largely of White individuals."
