I am having a blast making little statuettes and #puppets. I had some watery looking tiles and decided to make a series of arctic readers. Here’s #Penguin and a book! And I put it up on my shop. 4x4x6 inches kevinarts.bigcartel.com
Working on something new. Penguins and Polar Bears on the way
I am very proud of a book I made that no one wanted to publish. So I turned it into a short video. Steeped in fall. youtu.be/CUvBG2NWtJk?...

Making art is fun. So is sharing art. I’ve tried to make sure my shop is art I enjoyed making, and priced low, so anyone who needs a little smile (or a dragon for their bathroom wall?) doesn’t have to break the bank. Anyway, looking is free and feedback is welcome! kevinarts.bigcartel.com

Ruth is awesome!
The Canadian Children's Book Centre@kidsbookcentre.bsky.social · 2mo ago“My goal is to do this the rest of my life—although I would also like to try writing for children” illustrator Ruth Ohi told us back in 1992. Today Ruth Ohi is the illustrator of over 60 books, 23 of which she is also the author. Amazing! #FromTheCCBCArchives
Indie bookseller friends! How do you connect with your local educators & homeschoolers? Do you have a dedicated newsletter or advisory team or special events or....? I'm super interested in how we can convince more educators & homeschoolers to shop local, and I'd love to hear about your outreach!
In honour of an awesome idea - #summerween - here’s the spooky final cover for The Night of the Living Zed and a couple of the earlier ideas I was kicking around. #middlegradefiction @harperkids.bsky.social
