Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! This is a map of a path I've taken with my kids & family friends around Toronto when they were younger. Every summer we'd hit as many playgrounds as we could in one day. Hit me up for maps, comics, graphic novels, middle grade, picture book etc. #Illustration

Anthro tweens of a yellow rabbit, green turtle, brown dog, yellow rabbit and green lizard who run towards a map. It's a bird's eye view of the city with the Don River on the right and various play structures with the tweens playing on them. They start at Sackville Playground with a spinning climbable net merry go round, then Underpass park and its polyhedral rock climbing structures, Corktown Commons lone silver slide, past some sculptures of blue people and a cluster of streetlamps, into the Distillery District with a three legged one eyed alien War of the World's like sculpture and a red heart sculpture between which the kids have gotten ice cream, to the Esplanade where they play on a wooden frame and red plastic slide playground to Berczy Park and its dog fountain, to end at St James Park Playground with a spilled ice cream and tall asparagus climbing structures. The piece is labeled The Gauntlet and has a metal glove holding an ice cream cone above that title.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Let's keep going around the amusement park! Again inspired by how my kids react to people in mascot costumes. I think Caveman Sherlock Holmes is pretty cool though. I make comics, games, puzzles, picture books and more. brianmcl.com

At a purple and yellow striped amusement park a boy runs away with panic, having dropped his slurpee, from a wall-eyed mascot costume-clad Caveman Sherlock Holmes. The boy's older sister high fives the mascot with glee. IN the background is a carnival game where you can win stuffed caveman sherlock holmes, lumberjack woodpeckers, and a ghost in a birdcage. Further back is a roller coaster.

Children’s book illustration showing a little girl wrapped up in a purple and gold quilt, surrounded by a dark blue and purple background. A friendly ghost grandma, with faint hearts swirling inside of and behind her, is wrapping her arms lovingly around the girl. The girl has a bittersweet expression on her face, like she is missing her grandma, but the quilt is helping her feel a little better because it is a reminder of her grandma’s love.

you have to believe that love pays off in your personal practice even if it's unquantifiable. love, moreso than skill, does not generate an easily defined product. the love you put into something is not wasted even if you cannot see immediately "where it went." love artmaking for the sake of art.
