Two of the worst creative blocks of my career and the shift that got me through both times.
Rapunzel’s murals in Tangled and my new picture book, WHO ARE YOU? Two projects that almost broke me as an artist. This week on Substack I’m sharing the sketches that opened the way through the blocks and what actually shifted.
What’s your go-to when nothing is working?
Today’s my book birthday for WHO ARE YOU? What a journey it has been getting this out of my head and into your hands. Thank you Annie Kelley at Random House Studio for believing in the importance of asking ourselves and our little readers “Who are you?”
It’s my book birthday for Who Are You? I can’t be more excited to be able to hold this book in my hands. For any of you who have listened or read my latest newsletter about making this book you know I faced a huge creative block figuring out how to get these ideas into images and words. To be able to have it as a physical book speaks to the power of believing in the project you are working on. The struggle was so real but the belief that this book had a purpose for existence outside my own head kept me pushing to figure it out.
Working on this has brought me a deep appreciation for how infinite we are and how impossible it actually is to define a human being. The only way to do so is through presence. Recognizing the rare gift we have to be given a life to live in these five senses. looking forward to hearing about the stories this book may bring to bedtimes and the discoveries that parents and children may make while struggling with answering the simple question “who are you?”

Some of the praise WHO ARE YOU? :
“An artful invitation to big questions and connections.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The no-tech, boots-on-the-ground, no-holds-barred sense of independent adventure at the heart of this book is a guidepost to the traditional childhood of generations past and is a breath of fresh air.” —School Library Journal
“A breezy read aloud to encourage interactions with nature.” —Booklist
“Keane offers a centering path forward in this portrait of self-discovery through connection.” —Publishers Weekly

Gahhhh! Im so happy that this interview is live so I can share it with you! I had such a meaningful conversation with the thought provoking Andy Pizza.
LISTEN HERE!
From Andy:
This episode is for you if:
1 - You have had a hard time tapping into your unique creative voice.
2 - You feel disempowered as a creative and feel like you need agents, managers, or talent scouts to succeed.
3 - You need help clearing out the noise in your brain and hearing your creative voice again.
This is a chat with phenomenal author-illustrator Claire Keane! We chat about her new gorgeous picture book “Who Are You” and her visual development art for movies like “Tangled” and “Frozen”.
This was a great magical chat and I can’t wait for you to listen!
Big news! 🎉 I finally get to share the cover of my next book, WHO ARE YOU? — available now for preorder!
This book is close to my heart and is inspired by the quiet moments spent in the fields with my basset hound behind my childhood home in Canyon Country. In the following days I will update you on more exciting news - can’t wait to share more with you. Stay tuned

I got to sketch in my new favorite park. I’ve been loving using colored pencil lately- there’s nothing precious about them - mostly because I can erase. I’ve just been using the same palette of 6 colors (yellow , peach, coral, baby blue, dark blue and brown) I chose to use for Who Are You? because I haven’t taken the time to pick out different ones but also because I love using such a limited palette for my drawings. It somehow makes the creative decision making process so much more fun. Green isn’t in this particular palette so I have to create it by layering blue and yellow which makes me feel like a wizard every time 😍🌱
A little story I sent out in my newsletter about what my nocturnal panic attacks have led me to discover about myself. You should think of subscribing so you too can get things like this sent twice to your email because I left out half the images the first time ‘round 🫠. Truthfully though, I would love to have you on my list ❤️

May you have someone in your life to make you feel like everything you do is pure gold simply for having done it 🥹
Me scanning my illustrations for who are you? While my dad cheers me on ❤️
I don’t know how much longer I will get to continue putting my 13 year old to bed but I’m savoring every second 🥹(also I know that I keep drawing my 13 year old like a 4 year old - just humour this nostalgic mama please 😅)
