🌴 The Novmeber Virtual Saturday Stories will feature illustrator Carlos Aponte @carlosvisualdiary, live from his art studio! Carlos will discuss his latest picture book Precious, published by Nancy Paulsen Books @penguinrandomhouse.
Precious, which was featured in The Original Art 2025, is a beautiful and tender-hearted story about a boy who holds onto community and what is most dear in trying times.
Carlos will share a behind-the-scenes look at his illustrations and read Precious aloud, followed by a drawing workshop. Pedrito’s dog, Luna, is easy to draw! Using simple geometric shapes, follow along as Carlos guides you to draw the dog Pedrito found after the storm. Grab paper and pencil for a fun and easy short drawing session! Great for picture book fans of all ages.
🗓️ Saturday, November 7 from 10:30-11:30am
💻️ On Zoom

Goodbye, David Hockney, and thank you for showing us your colorful and inspiring playground. You never had an inner child, but a joyful outer child. RIP

🪞COVER REVEAL🪞
We are thrilled to share a first look at the cover of By the WAYE Issue 03, featuring 🕊️ “Peace Bird” 🕊️ by Puerto Rican illustrator Carlos Aponte. (@carlosvisualdiary)
When we were thinking about our featured artist, we sought someone whose work speaks as powerfully as the poetry selected to appear in this issue. Aponte’s minimalist illustrations offer an elegant and expressive distillation of his subjects, the result of disciplined observation and skill.
This issue showcases more of Aponte’s ink illustrations, which document the nuances of everyday life, from quiet, predictable moments to the weight of global atrocities. Original, witty, and at times dark, his work deeply examines the lived experience.
Carlos Aponte’s illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, Elle, and Esquire magazines. He is also the author-illustrator of the children’s books Preciosa, Across the Bay, and A Season to Bee. You can also find his artwork at El Museo de la Salsa and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.
This magazine is paid for in part by a grant from the Jersey City Arts and Culture Trust Fund @jerseycityartscouncil @jcartandculture
