Spotted a @debbieohi.com cover illustration during the elementary school open house tonight.
I’m excited to see what percentage of the vote this world-class shenanigator gets today.

Stopped by one of my favorite bookstores again - Browseabout Books in Rehoboth, DE - and spotted The Pink Pajamas by @charlenedraws.bsky.social. The delightful picture book area of the store is inspiring. So many good titles on display. #kidlit

Celebrating 5 years of #KidLitArtPostcard w/ the theme of "You, as a kid.” Don’t worry, I managed to somersault over the mailbox, although I did mangle a fingernail! I’m Brian, rep’d by @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social at @bradfordlitfest.bsky.social - you can see what I’m up to at briankirbystudio.com.
Looks like a good space for creating! Our recent fire wreaked havoc on one of my workspaces, hoping we can get back to normal here soon!
Two weeks after the explosion at my house, we finally were able to start stage one of cleanup - flushing out the air ducts. 👍
It’s worth it - they have national mixology awards. The decor is partly salvaged from vintage Tiki lounges. It has a fun tiki speakeasy vibe. Because you would never know what’s inside from what the outside looks like.
Had one of the craziest, worst weeks ever, but managed to get out to Porco Lounge, one of the coolest spots in Cleveland, to celebrate my wife’s birthday with friends. I needed that.

The FLASHES app is the best way to view #kidlitartpostcard art, simply because you can view thumbnail images in chronological order.

I am going to be terrified of any Lithium-ion battery items going forward. 😨
Really happy my family is ok today after this stupid thing exploded and set the bedroom on fire at midnight. Luckily I was nearby to contain the damage. Not recommending a Medboro power station to anyone anytime soon.
The Marbero power station backup battery is getting a bad review from me. 💥
I don’t think this goofball has ever hissed at anyone or anything in her life. Just Tribble noises.
