Sadly, I've just learned of Uri Shulevitz passing.

I had the honour of meeting this great man many, many years ago. He provided me with some sage advice: Buy his book (Writing With Pictures) and read it!

I did and it was invaluable.

He also signed this for me 🙂 :

I've been quietly working on something...

Just wanted to do a piece featuring a group of neighbourhood kids...plus a dude stealing some gumballs...

Hey, Paulitree here...creating illustrations for kidlit/PB/MG and stuff!

I saw this train a' rollin' and I just...caught...the caboose!

Wouldn't dream of leaving the sky but as an artmakerperson, how could I resist a really fun place for artmakerpersons?

Super busy with life 🙄 so just a quick one today; a character's costume that needed to be worked out...a bodysuit with a fluorescent sheen, no less!

(Also, please do not disturb the dog!)

As much as I'm digging the colour stuff, I have to remember all the interiors will probs be b&w 🖤🤍

Just some old sketches going up as I'm flat out editing atm🙄. And please don't mind the old sock smudge-glove...it may not be pretty, but it's been on the job for over a decade! Props to the glove!🧦🧤🤟

Pauli Tree here, and this is from a story I'm currently working on, about a witch and a baby heist....a BIG baby heist.

#addKidLitArt Cheers Kellie!

Just as a matter of fact, the story I'm working on coincides with the witchy season...go figure, eh?

Some troll action in current story...oh, and a beagle, too.

This pie. It has so little to do with the story I'm working on however, it sets the mood perfectly. Witches and kids...it just can't end well.

Just migrating some work in this direction 🚚

Piece for a story that's currently on the back burner...but I really like the MC, so it's on my mind a bit

🗯️First post at a new place!🗯️

And it goes a little something like this: 'Here's a piece for a MG story collection I'm working on...a collection full of magic and mayhem, as well as some scrap-hungry trolls.'
