Another late-night creation with a western flair: youtu.be/oO6PiSdF2BM #FunWithLooping

I took a half day off today to get some miles in and play around with loops to create this creature: youtu.be/Y-PIhcP9hfE Imagine a raccoon/goblin factory, with a chaotic goth overlord checking in on the workers. Anyway, it's only 1:39 long.

The Gloaming Through The Window #Vector #illustration

The few of you that have read The Legacy Drawer might recognize these two. I'm starting on some illustrations for it for a re-release sometime in the near-future.

Just received a lovely unsolicited email from an Editorial Director (first red flag) about a children's book I have on KDP (second red flag) using an aol.com email (third). Upon a quick publisher research via google, I also see that the company has no Children's Book division (fourth). Delightful.

How did #KidLitArtPostcard sneak up on us again? Seeking new representation. JasonHendrickson.com [email protected] IG: HendricksonCreative

Howabout ideas on marketing books, self-published or otherwise when/if your publisher doesn't hold up their end of the marketing part of a contract. #kidlitchat (That's not intentionally specific or anything. lol)

As an aside (and since I rarely stay on topic), I received an email from a book marketer this morning that gave an in-depth, detailed analysis of my latest KDP book with info on how to increase traffic & purchases. #kidlitchat ...continued

I've also started working on an adult-level story written as a children's-style story. Think Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies or Tim Burton's Melanchloy Death of Oyster Boy. A little morbid, some murders might occur, but cute(?) and in character. #kidlitchat

Hello, #kidlitartpostcard day! I adore bugs . . . on paper. Here are a couple of my favorites who'd love to tell you their story. I work traditionally in pencil and pen & ink, with watercolor and digital color. This piece is pen & ink with digital collage. bonnieadamson.com

Has anyone ever taken a trade-published book of theirs that has been out of print and remaindered by the publisher, and reworked the cover and copyright pages for print on demand? I have to check the contract, but I believe I now have that opportunity. #kidlitchat
