Authors & publicists: credit is even more important when you're showing an artist's work for the first time, such as a book cover! It's win-win: by crediting them, it shows you acknowledge/appreciate their work, they're more likely to share, and you'll reach their fanbases.

One of the most fun events in Canada has a date! Mark your calendars now. More details to come to celebrate fabulous books by 🇨🇦 creators! #canscaip #ireadcanadian

Creativity is revolutionary. It is resistance against a culture that too often prizes utilitarianism. Art offers questions & questions authority in all its forms. It offers possibilities & hope. It reminds us why we are here in this brief, beautiful life.

In case anyone needs to see a mouse paddling a teacup, here you go… (Art by DD McInnes)

Create what only you can create. Do not worry is it good or if others will like it. Just create. Create what is rooted deep within you that needs to find expression in whatever form it takes.

Karl Albert Buehr (1866 – 1952) Young Lady Crocheting (Expectancy) ca. 1911

“Anne was sitting at her open window...as she drank in the beauty of the summer dusk...The eastern sky above the firs was flushed faintly pink from the reflection of the west, and Anne was wondering dreamily if the spirit of color looked like that…” #GreenGables 🎨 Peter Ilsted
