Alec Longstreth

Hello! I'm going to join the first #kidlitartpostcard day of 2026! I'm Alec Longstreth, an award-winning cartoonist. Since 2004 I've been coloring graphic novels for major publishers and my goal this year is to start using that time/energy to make picture books! www.alecillustration.com

Eric Bauza, the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and hundreds of other characters, has died at 46. We look back at the extraordinary range of his work and his tireless advocacy for animation and the artists who make it possible. www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/eric-bau...

Today is the 30th anniversary of pinkerton, the second album by @weezer.bsky.social I animated this multiplane version of the album cover, which they posted elsewhere, but not here, so I thought I'd share it for anyone observing this milestone. I am! #weezer #pinkerton #multiplane

@lubellwoo.bsky.social I wish you could have seen how ANGRY I just got, when I could not find my copy of Baggywrinkles for 30 minutes (I need it to show my @cartoonstudies.bsky.social grad student, who is doing a comic with SHIPS). "There's NO WAY I got rid of that book! WTF is it????!!!!"

My friend Elise Dietrich launched a new Kickstarter today, to fund her awesome minicomic series KILL YOUR IDOLS. www.kickstarter.com/projects/eli... It's all about reminiscing about and reflecting on her favorite '90s bands. Anyone who enjoyed my Weezer Fan issues of Phase 7 will love this!
