I have the honour of being the 2026 TD Summer Reading Club artist and am very stoked to share all that we’ve created!

I’ll share more soon but for now, I want to say that CANADIAN PICTURE BOOK ARTISTS should get ready to apply for the 2027 position! The listing goes up on June 1 so get your portfolio, CV, and a couple of good reference letters ready!

Please share and send along to folks you think would be a good fit. It’s a big project and you get to work with a truly wonderful team.

Now that the TD Summer Reading Club has launched, I figured I’d start sharing some of the images I made for the material! But honestly I don’t know where to start.

There were a couple dozen spot illustrations for the English and French notebooks and these are a few of them! Some were more complex than others but all were so much fun. Oh and for the braille I translated the first couple sentences from Moby Dick! If you give me a theme, I will wring every ounce out of it.

And still a few more images from the TD Summer Reading Club notebooks!

This crowd scene was to emphasize Canadian animals so a good chance to positively depict a snake (I like to do this with spiders too but they were too small for this). The simpler spot illustrations are always a fun challenge of fitting some storytelling into a specific shape.

Anyway if your kids are a part of the summer reading club and you’ve seen some of the material, lemme know!

A few more illustrations from the TDSRC notebooks! The crowd scenes are always a fun chance to show a mix of smaller stories, like the vinyl crocodile just grooving or the thieving crab getting away with the titanic necklace.

Also a little Easter egg for all the millennial parents: the treasure chest is inspired by Mr. Dressup’s tickle trunk!

Happy Thursday.
