Hey #kidlit illustrators! We're beginning work on new Christmas/nighttime themed picture book. I'm looking for someone with a painterly, textured, and literary style capable conjuring magic, light, and wonder. Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

Yesterday was a joyful day full of crabs. #KidLitArt

What's up...currently in the works...a CDN Remembrance Day picture book, drawings for non-fiction picture book with CDN publisher, I Drove My Bed to Grandma's House Oct 11, Burst Your Bubble!: Outsmart the Algorithms and See What You're Missing Nov. 11, drawing classes for kids, youth and adults.

Why are some people entrenched in ideas you find puzzling? Why do they think your ideas are bizarre? Information bubbles! And algorithms! My new book for kids--and adults!--explains it all, with humour. It drops Nov 11. Pre-order today! @jandolby.bsky.social @owlkids.bsky.social @mor10.com
