Well, sadly, BOOK! is no longer available on Amazon. The publisher shuttered the Children's Book division; the warehouse stock has been remaindered, and it's officially out of print. All that remains is in a box on my living room floor. I think my kidlit days are done.

Just to connect the dots, this is the same character (and library) as this earlier postcard... bsky.app/profile/mdas...

Happy #kidlitartpostcard for the heatwave! Might as well bake a cake in it. Looking for new representation jasonhendrickson.com [email protected] IG: HendricksonCreativeTw

I'm working against mental blocks right now. I have 20 paintings that need to be framed and finished. The wood for it is sitting on my dining room floor. I have at least 5 WIP manuscripts that need finishing, and 30 false starts to be retooled. Doomscrolling doesn't seem to help. #kidlitchat

Classic shirts are on sale for $15 sitewide on TeePublic. I have lots that you might like. Here are a few examples. www.teepublic.com/user/hendric...

Another Tuesday is here, so that means another #kidlitchat is happening here on Bluesky at 9PM Eastern/6PM Pacific. It sure seems to me to be a great day to join your #kidlit friends and compatriots to chat for an hour. If it seems that way to you, too, I hope you'll join us! See you soon....

I'm livid. A client of mine had a friend of his make changes to a shirt design I did for him using AI. Then he sent it back to me to make it work for production, rather than adressing it with me to solve the issue in the first place. I need to decide if I'm working with him anymore.

I'm running really late for #kidlitartpostcard today, but here's a delightful experience I had as a young man who just watched the Christopher Reeve Superman. Seeking new representation. jasonhendrickson.com [email protected] IG: HendricksonCreative

It's the 5th anniversary of #KidLitArtPostcard day! I made a starter pack of me as a kid. Braces, glasses, a Point Horror book, and no vegetables. See more here: NicolaSchofield.com Rep by @sallymkim.bsky.social at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #kidlitart

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.
