Tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day! So, don yer costumes, matees, and go ye in search of treasure - ARRRR!! CLICK HERE for more TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY coloring pages.
Remember, I create my coloring pages to draw your attention to my books! For instance...
my latest picture book, Crow Not Crow - written by New York Times Best-selling author Jane Yolen and Adam Stemple. Kirkus calls it "a solid choice for introducing the hobby [birdwatching] to younger readers."
Also, A Bird on Water Street is now available in Chinese! Please help spread the word!

The good news just keeps coming!! My award-winning novel, A BIRD ON WATER STREET is now available in Vietnamese as well as Chinese and English! What a wonderful thing! What do you think, do you have a favorite version?
Have you heard all the hullaballoo about THE WONKY DONKEY over at The Guardian? A grandma read it to her grandson and the video went viral. Click the image above to watch on YouTube OR, CLICK HERE for 3 VIDEO LINKS to the full book and song, and an animated version of the story, along with Grandma's version!
I've been participating in The House of Illustration Drawing a Day Challenge , although I only just today got the chance to actually upload my images to my Instagram Page - DulembaDraws. So, I thought I'd share the collection so far here as well: Keep an eye on my Instagram page to see them go live each day (I hope to be able to get them up each day now that I'm back in town.) If you'd like to follow along online, these are the tags on Instagram and Twitter: #JohnVernonLord #DrawingaDay @illustrationhq
Just a reminder - I'm selling original artwork in MY ETSY STORE. Quite a few are available, ranging in price from $250 to $500. They are exciting pen & ink drawings, at A4 dimension, offered as original unframed artwork, signed and with a certificate of authentication. Patreon contributors can download a PDF of the images for free!
FRIDAY: Linky List

I love featuring my fellow faculty at Hollins University. Recently, John Steven Gurney stopped by to talk about his newest graphic novels, including FUZZY BASEBALL. He's so clever and funny, I know you'll enjoy learning about them! CLICK HERE to read.
Look what arrived in the mail yesterday - my creator copies of CROW NOT CROW - WOOHOO!!! I can tell you the UPS guy was not happy, however, as we live on the 3rd floor (called the 2nd in the UK). I think this is 50 copies! SO exciting to finally see them finished and in person! A friend suggested I should 'Crow' about this and who does it better than Mary Martin as Peter Pan? Click the image below to have a listen on YouTube! (Or I can sing the entire Broadway version for you by heart next time I see you!)

Per requests, I've made my "Liberty With Child" image available to wear to protest marches - because Lady Liberty embraces ALL children, and sadly, this statement is still necessary! CLICK HERE to download the image as a FREE poster as well.

Did you know that I'm happy for librarians and teachers (and booksellers) to use my images to decorate their spaces or use on free handouts? All I ever ask in return is that you please "check out" my books to see if any might be a good fit with your readers. And I love it when you share your creations with me to add to my blog!
