Had a blast drawing this with the wonderful @jamesfoleybooks for #BookCharactersUnited .📚 . Bringing two of @timharrisbooks delightful characters together for a much needed hug. Chegwin from Toffle Towers and Mr Bambuckle from Mr Bambuckle's Remarkables. . Keep safe, keep sane, keep creating everyone! ✌️💙🌏😷🧻 . . . . . . #kidlitart #characterart #kidlitaustralia @penguinkidsaustralia @puffinbooksaus #jamesfoley #jameshart #hugitout #keepsafe #notouchy

As we all shut ourselves away unable to hug our friends or family, the characters in our books are all stepping out of their books for the first time to hug one another!🤗 . I love this genius concept by @brionystewartillustration #BookCharactersUnited bringing us illustrators and our characters together 💙✌️ . So my good friend @crikeyboy and myself got together to let Cowboy and Birdbrain have a lovely cuddle with Chris' Zooniverse characters Noah and Blue. . Go check out more of Chris' incredible illustrations. It's been ages since we've worked together. Last time was back in 2013 on The Day My Butt Went Psycho. Not only is Chris a talented illustrator, he's a really great guy and great friend, always there to help and wag chins. 💙💙 . Can't wait to see even more characters step outside soon!! Stay safe everyone! 💙 . #noahandblueszooniverse #cowboyandbirdbrain #kidlitart #characterart #kidlitaustralia

Some of you may remember me posting back in January that my word for this year is CALM. 🙏 . Well, we've entered a time in history where practicing calm is ever so important. There's a lot of panic out there. Things are uncertain and confusing. Stress, worry and fear will not help. We need clarity and truth and wisdom to make good decisions. 🦉 . Now is the time to act in love and kindness. Take care of each other out there! Friends and family and strangers alike. 🌏🌍🌎 . Also, keep making, keep creating and keep your imagination alive. Don't let this defeat you. 💪💪 . Philippians 2:3-4 ✌️💙🕊️ . . . . #calm #covid_19 #loveoneanother #notafraid #fartboy #kidlitartist #drawing #australianillustrator #kidlitart #characterart #scholastic #justdraw #character_design #jameshart
