Before he died, Francis Tsai used blink/eye gaze technology to draw these. To draw them. No prompts. People don’t need problematic technology to show their imagination. If you can prompt, you can learn to write, you can write stories. Anyone can MAKE art. Of any kind. Prompting is not making.

Countdown is over! THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES words by @stephaniegibeault.bsky.social art by me is now available I wanted to highlight the first book review from Maria Marshall:

Countdown to pub of THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES words by @stephaniegibeault.bsky.social art by me avail Aug 1. Final image: Sharp-eyed readers will see Mack has his ball first seen in the garage Press photo is considered above-the-fold important. Background has most bees from any page of the book

Countdown to pub of THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES words by @stephaniegibeault.bsky.social art by me avail Aug 1 I used the same composition 3 times in this book. Each time a little different to show Mack’s progress. I wanted to show all three at once and came up this fractal collage #picturebook

Meet Mack the Bee Dog and his human partner Cybil Preston in my latest article for @americankennelclub.bsky.social. They're the subject of my latest #picturebook with @davidhohn.bsky.social THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES (from Sleeping Bear Press).🐝🐕 www.akc.org/expert-advic...

Countdown to pub of THE DOG WHO SAVED THE BEES words by @stephaniegibeault.bsky.social art by me avail Aug 1 When I saw this press photo of Mack getting his award I knew a version of it had to be included in the final book. In hindsight I kinda’ wish I kept Gov. Hogan’s purple shirt and tie.
