Meet Uno. He's one of the baby gnomes. Babies in the gnome community are lovingly cared for by their parents but they are also cared for by the great gnome community. Every gnome life matters. Love, care & kindness has always been the gnome way. #Gnome #Gnomes #BabyGnomes #GnomeCommunity

Penelope is one of the youngest gnomes. She loves flowers and also enjoys dollops of fresh sweet honey with the occasional blackberry. #Gnome #LittleGnome #SweetGnome

The world is a nightmare right now -- so why am I sketching character studies of gnomes? Because it makes me feel so good. It's good fun creating a whole community of gnomes -- their flaws & fine points, along with their talents and dreams. #Gnomes #Gnome #GnomeLife #GnomeFamily #kidlit #kidlitart

I totally forgot that I had a Flickr account! Found some sketches of authors I hadn't seen in ages. I can't find the original drawings, but here's one of the sketches. Good ol' Peggy, aka Margaret Atwood. A great face to draw, and amazing author to read. #Authors #MargaretAtwood #Face #Portrait #Art

It is Halloween, so it only seems right to post a caricature of Stephen King. This was an illustration I did for the National Post years ago, after King had written a book about cell phones turning on people. #Halloween #HalloweenCartoon #Illustration #StephenKing #Scary #CellPhones

Woo-Hoo! Happy Halloween! It's party time! I have noticed that some of my books have a lot of music & party themes in the stories. I definitely have that "Let's have fun!" thang inside me. I used to host some fun parties back in the day. And music is a big part of my life. #Halloween #Party #fun

I'm really enjoying fall so far, but gotta say -- I'm also looking forward to the winter weather. At my core I am a homebody, and I love the feeling of cocooning at home in cosy sweaters and comfy slippers, sipping hot coffee or tea. #Coccooning #Comfort #Homebody #Cosy
