Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Hi everyone- running a lil 26% off sale for the rest of January. if you’ve wanted to play with some new markmaking in your art now’s a good time to get a deal on Procreate brushes! ko-fi.com/meghunt/link...

sadly no they just did it as a friends and family sort of thing but maybe one day I'll get hit up to make a roll 😍

This was a dream gig I didn't even know I had on my list: gift wrap! Worked with the amazing folks at Parliament in Portland to make some special owl-themed wrap for their favorite people.

For 2026 I am committed to more messy mixed media times even though I have no idea where it’s going… this was a fun mix of tempera paint sticks, colored pencils, brush markers and panpastels.

No problem! I’d rather an excited response (I’m also a big fan!) than none at all :)

Hi Bob! :)

oh and Jess Hannigan and Isabelle Arsenault and X. Fang :)

naturally! I've got her and Melissa Castrillon on lock of course :)

random question: who are your favorite limited color/cohesive palette picture book illustrators working today? (doesn't have to be super limited color, but intentionally curated palettes across their books!) I'm trying to figure out approaches for my dummy...

Fairy (inspired by biblically accurate angels :D), Gryphon, Satyr, and Manticore (4/4). All of these started out with traditional media (marker, colored pencil, fountain pen ink and stamp pads), and then mixed with digital media for Riso. Printed beautifully by @magicrockriso.bsky.social !

Floral Dragon, Sasquatch, Mermaid (well, floundermaid!), and Will o' the Wisp (3/4)

Cockatrice, Kraken, Harpy (inspired by the secretary bird!) and Elf (with a hedgehog companion-- thanks @amandabsparks.bsky.social for the suggestion!) (2/4)

Was at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social this weekend for RAZ Fest-- so much fun! I debuted a mini gacha print series called Creature Feature! I wanted to show all 16 of the print designs in this thread, so here are Dryad, Unicorn, Barometz, and Metal Dragon (1/4)

Hooray! TURKEY TROT @simonkids.bsky.social wiggles its way onto shelves today. Look at those little legs! The front cover has no text, and we needed to make it so it could flip upside down to shelve legs up if needed (hence turkey #8). It results in a very poppy graphic image!

lovely and glowy!!!

Thank you Chuck! It was really fun to just go absolutely silly with it. I highly recommend working on a book with a silly novelty feature like plush legs heheheh

In just about a week, this lil book is going to be on shelves! TURKEY TROT (@simonkids.bsky.social) is about a gaggle of turkeys prepping for the big race, and it has plush feet so little kids can take part too! Thanks to Little Simon and my awesome designer/hand model @jsheaart.bsky.social

Omg I might need to draw this too

Made a piece inspired by my hometown in summer (and New England beach towns in general!) swipe through to see my favorite mini golf course growing up. This will be a 3 color Risograph print soon for #razfest 🥰 @gallerynucleus.bsky.social

Holding steadfast onto the 'no rules, just right' methodology of character designing these bugs. I'm having a lot of fun just letting the drawings be a little wonky and bad, it's bringing me back to my teen years watching Dr Katz after school.

working on a new riso zine I'm calling Fashion Bug... kind of a companion piece to my picture book dummy! Having a lot of fun experimenting with this rough line bleedy wash style and pushing shape language.
