I've been lucky enough to get some paid work that I can't share yet so I haven't posted art in a while but I had to do something for the American Girl 40th anniversary. I have been reading these books since I was six years old and these girls have a huge place in my heart. All 20 historic girls in one place!

Caroline's Creek Adventure
It's a beautiful spring day in Sacket's Harbor. Caroline dreads the thought of helping with the baking and needs an excuse to be outdoors for a few hours, so she tells everyone she's going fishing and hops in the skiff.
When she gets in and pulls out the fishing rod, she remembers that she forgot to bring bait.
She also notices there are no fish in the creek anyway, so even if she had brought bait, there's nothing to catch.
Being out on the water reminds her of sailing with Papa.
So she orients the skiff downstream, just to see where it goes.
She steers the skiff down the creek, where the trees thin out and the sun beats down.
Mostly she lets the current carry her along.
She ends up at a beaver's dam.
There aren't any beavers right now, but this will be a fun story to tell Papa some day when he escapes captivity by British army.
Doodled Summer!Kirsten this morning. I'm hoping to scan and colour at some point!
Is this a bad time to mention that it has almost been 10 years since there’s been a black goty?? And she was also the only black goty American girl ever made and they over shadowed her with a white character/doll so much that people don’t even remember her being goty at all.
OK American Girl, Raquel was cute but you cannot pull this stunt two years in a row legitimately do you think we're stupid
also
i NEED american girl to realize that this does not look to us like "oh what a nice diverse friend group <3" after all the shit they've been pulling it looks like "remember kids! you can be any race or disability, but you're always second-fiddle to the white main character. now go act as fuel for her character development"
we said this with summer's best friend too but legitimately why the fuck couldn't that girl holding the dog have been the GOTY. any of the other characters look like a more interesting design. Daisy is clearly them desperately trying to ride off the Lila high now that she's about to be retired.
And she's a soccer player too? Cool. you know who else was a soccer player and also fun fact had a storyline about being anti-ICE, something extremely relevant to the current year? THE LATINA DOLL YOU RETIRED.
listen i am a sucker for nostalgia-marketing. it works on me. it totally worked with Raquel. but pulling that two years in a row really makes it seem like they think we're completely braindead and will buy anything that has the word "Molly" on it. god i need some molly rn
also theyre not even doing the white girl nostalgia-marketing right. "Davenport" was the last name of the Ruthie actress. should've been a kithie descendant you morons
Powerchair in the woods... As a powerchair user, how? Unless it's four wheel drive (unclear if that's even something that's possible to get) you can't even get on ramps that are not fully flush with the ground. A sidewalk in my town has a tree growing out of it and trying to get over it sends me careening into the wall every time. But sure, let's stick the powerchair user in the woods because that's inclusivity

Right? Like the place we're going for vacation this year has one trail powerchair with like, caterpillar treads for rent that you have to sign up for a week ahead of time, and the offroad wheels for my wife's own manual chair were out of pocket because of course going outside isn't important to one's health or anything. Like, I work summers at a camp with paved sidewalks and we still have accessibility issues in all kinds of ways. It raises Questions.
And like, what a lost opportunity to center a kid with a mobility aid!
Y'know what a good Molly relative (not descendant, she can come from one of Molly's siblings) story could have been, if you really have to do one? A chronically ill girl who grew up hearing the stories of Camp Gowonagin and figured she would also go when she was old enough, getting sicker and finding out she can't attend anymore because she now uses a wheelchair and it's in the woods. And her and her friends spend the whole summer coming up with ideas of other things she could do, that a disability friendly summer camp (THAT ISN'T IN THE WOODS) might offer and then someone is really impressed with them and starts it and she's like "I thought being disabled would be the end of my life, but this looks like just the beginning" or some other cheesy line
Would it be cliché? Yeah. Would it be better than whatever Daisy's story will be? Hell yeah

Don’t forget. The Latina doll they retired was given slightly different hair and then sold as Raquel.
