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

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

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!

My #Smiledle for today doubles as my #kidlitartpostcard This is one of my oldest characters (Marc the Medieval) a story idea I keep re-working in my head and might just be ready to take another run at turning into a book.

Today’s #Smiledle I created George Fuzzbop when I was around 10 (see left version). On the right (bemused) is how I’d draw George today

A few years ago I started posting daily doodles (I called them #Smiledles) - because I need to feel cheerful. I’m going to start doing that again… but will start with some of my faves from the original series.

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.
