Thank you Jason, great videos! I’m a HUGE fan of Jon Klassen. He was the reason that I began to learn watercolor. It’s a such a pity that he doesn’t make tutorial videos. I’m sure a lot of people will line up to pay for his tutorial videos! Please let him know.

I look forward to more videos.Keep it up!

Ahhh! You're in Idaho! I'm in Washington and am just starting to put feelers out regarding publishing a book about my dog. We toyed with the idea while we were still back in Texas; but, she passed in September and a lot of our stories were fleshed out after she passed. We have several concept art pieces done that could result in a series depending on how it is received. I feel a bit lost because we moved up here from Texas and I have no network built up here to figure out who to reach out to on it. Do you have local suggestions?

This was so cool to hear. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

The illustrations for the book about the dark are very thoughtful. I never would have come up with that.

[@LeadGraffiti]

I wish you had tended to pick up the book and show us at least maybe 1/4 - 1/3 of the pages. The backwards perspective feels weird. We built a stand to hold our iPhone directly over it. Then you can take the book larger perhaps.

[@twowisehands1234]

Love the art. What size is your trim? What type of paper? What type of paper on the cover. Classy!

[@jonmahashintina]

this stuff is kind of amazing to have on while drawing. subscrabblederd.

[@IiHideI]

Very insightful

[@nickwelch1310]

So good.

[@Amelia_PC]

When Klassen mentioned a web browser based game with triangles, I thought in Unity immediately.

No, do not post whole book, maybe 80%, leave them hanging.
