Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

I’m flipping through my first Little Golden book, Sammie is zoek! (Sammie is missing!) which marks a decade since its release. This one is special as its my debut as an author/ illustrator. I drew inspiration from midcentury LGB artists hoping I’ve honored their legacy. @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Lovely work! Do you have any specific mid-century artists you’d like to shout out? (Always happy to discover more!)

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

I feel like there might be a different way to rearrange the characters so that the skateboarder isn't carving a groove in the back of that one guy's help. And I agree with the note above about making the balloon bob back and forth.

Hi #kidlitartpostcard day✨ I'm Shiho and I love illustrating books for kids! Please visit shihopate.com for more of my work. I am represented by Deborah Warren at @eastwestlit.bsky.social #kidlitart

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day!

This month's postcard is inspired by the artists of ancient history. Besides art, history was my favorite subject in school. I was alway fascinated by how much art can tell us about history.

Emitá, a seven year old girl, opens the door to Memoria’s chambers. The setting is Ancient Greece. Emitá is one of the the Moirai, the Fates, and any other deities that control destiny that appear in world mythologies. She is an original character and this is the title page spread for Warriors of Virtue (the graphic novel).

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I’m Mili and I am seeking representation.

I decided to turn Warriors of Virtue (my fantasy novel series) into a graphic novel, too. This image is from the proposal I’m working on.

Stay tuned!

Thanks, Nicola. Yep, Carrd is totally free unless you want fancier options ( more pages? Custom URL? I’ve forgotten, as clearly I’m not using any of those atm.)

A middle-grade-aged girl wearing glasses, jeans and a frog-covered sweater holds a copy of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile and looks suspicious as she eyes the door of the library behind her. The door is ajar and a sign on it reads "Missing: Librarian." The text on the postcard reads "Michael Dashow, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber @ CMA."

Hi again #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm not sure how I found time to draw & paint this month... It's a mystery (not unlike the situation in this illo! 🔍🐸)

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.

The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

Puzzle Spy International is one I've been keeping an eye on for a while. The art is awesome, the characters were fun, and the puzzle in the demo kept me scratching my head for probably longer than it should have. @agentepsilon.bsky.social and team have made something very cool here.
