When the top elves need to find new sleigh carriers, is it enough that the replacements “Must Be Able to Fly”? Find out what it takes as mythological and cultural creatures from around the world audition as Christmas Eve fast approaches. #PBPitch

Exciting day for sophomore Amy @SouthernTiogaSD we were finally able to use our new metals equipment for her to hand-make a beautiful copper jewelry set. Thanks @acap_22 ! #lrnrdrvn #k12art #arted

Spot the mistake! Son asked for a drawing of #Avengers protecting Vision from Thanos for his 7th bday. He read me a Cap book b4 bed when I realized my coloring error. The best part? He says “dad, it’s okay. No one will know but us”. Except here since I can’t help it. @Marvel

@elawreads Followed! Great idea and offer. #kidlitcrit

Couldn’t resist a little #WandaVision inspiration for my first Procreate doodle. I think I’m going to love it, but there’s a steep learning curve I’ve yet to climb. Still a lot of fun! @Marvel

@TheReal2JC @agentbizzle Access to only overly chiseled muscly dudes is the only safe route.

@DSESArt I find your work so inspiring! I love your variety of marks and think your designs would make incredible outdoor murals. Stay safe!

MUST BE ABLE TO FLY: As fantastic flying creatures from around the globe arrive at the North Pole to audition as replacements for mysteriously ill reindeer, the elves soon realize more is required than just the ability to fly. Author/Illustrator #PBPitch

@people4kam If hundreds of my coworkers had to be called into a special meeting to decide if I’m too crazy to do my job, they would already have the answer.

[Michael Boarts @michaelrboarts]

@C21Art @Marvel I’ll be looking into it since my son already asked if he could have it for his room but I want to put it up in my classroom. DM your address.

My students are working on creative color wheels based on their hobbies and interests. An 8th grader challenged me to “do another one”. Here’s my finished @Marvel one all put together, done over my quarantine zooms with them so happy w it! 💙💜❤️🧡💛💚. #arted #avengers #lrnrdrvn

[Michael Boarts @michaelrboarts]

@C21Art @Marvel For real? Awesome! It was extra enjoyable to make at home since my boys are obsessed with Avengers now, too. My oldest was so into picking out the character for each color. My wife jokes that I must be in my glory and she’s not wrong.

[Michael Boarts @michaelrboarts]

@C21Art @Marvel Thanks. It was a lot of fun.

[Michael Boarts @michaelrboarts]

It it was a great happy accident that #WandaVision created a complimentary pair!
