A stack of watercolors fanned out with just a little bit of each painting visible.
20+ book pages in watercolor. No AI. Plenty of aches, tears, freak outs, and doubts. Countless hours. Occasional panic. The effort is what makes it worth it. #kidlit #kidlitart
I’m finally using the yarn I bought on holiday sale 😆
Picture of knitting project on needles.
Started knitting another sweater… because it calms me down.
Omg. SO CUUUUTE
I’m so sorry. This situation sucks so much. 😢
Please don’t buy AI generated books or PDFs..c’mon, this totally degrades illustrators, bookmakers, and Panchi! 🤬😭
If you’re on IG, block @fairytalemumma. She even stated that she updated the PDF to reflect a Japanese zookeeper. 🤦♀️😑 #valuechildrensbookmakers
This is so gross... and depressing. I seriously doubt any of the "likes" translated to actual sales.

All I can say is personally I think it is no coincidence that my work seems to have slowed down as this has ramped up.
On top of the loss of income, there's also the price of living with grief that other creators don't have to, because they're not 'troublesome' to society.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
