In 2018, I spent six weeks in Madagascar trying to prove to myself that I could be a digital nomad. I got barely any work done, but I did see a lot of lemurs!!! I want to go back. Which lemur is your favorite? Which illustration style do you like best? #Lemurs #lemurDay30 Oct 2026 13:06 +0000at://did:plc:aed6bczashrbzhy6ndnulgfd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz3tvvnyuk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/katytanis.bsky.social/post/3myki2ysmlc2iI am somewhat amused by the idea of having to prove I didn’t use AI for my artwork. Here you go. 21 versions of the file, each containing 100+ layers which are poorly labeled, saved in 3 day bursts with weeks in between when I got mad at my work. Total chaos. #kidlitart23 Oct 2026 15:19 +0000at://did:plc:aed6bczashrbzhy6ndnulgfd/app.bsky.feed.post/3myki2ysmlc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/katytanis.bsky.social/post/3myhs4vsnc22vWatch these baby salamanders grow up! #kidLit #newRelease #picturebooks #salamanders #amphibians22 Oct 2026 13:41 +0000at://did:plc:aed6bczashrbzhy6ndnulgfd/app.bsky.feed.post/3myhs4vsnc22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/katytanis.bsky.social/post/3myfdbmk6vk2rSo Many Salamanders is out today!
