2016 draws to a close

Yes, 2016 has been rough. (Thanks for nothing Electoral College) but it's been an amazing year for Kids Lit, especially here in Canada.

I've been drawing personal inspiration from watching so many of my colleagues posting their artwork on social media.

If you don't follow Debbie Ohi, Qin Leng, Sydney Smith, Jon Klassen, Terry and Eric Fan on Tumblr, Instagram, twitter, Facebook... GO DO IT NOW! Not that they need my help to get followers, but just watching them draw makes me want to do it, and do it better. (and this is FAR from an exhaustive list of amazing artists who inspire me).

To close out 2016, I've been trying to draw more each day, drawing inspiration from them as well. Here are some holiday tidbits.

Happy Holidays everyone!
