@PaulGilligan10 Hi there Paul. Cast your mind back to Sheridan College, where we were in 1st and 2nd year together. Bought your book yesterday and loved it! I too thought Jaws was under my bed after seeing the movie. A really touching tale and wonderful message in the book. All the best!

Hey @CBCDrive , I’ve got a distant cousins for you. In February 1978 Be Bop Deluxe released Drastic Plastic. A song on the album Panic In The world sounds homage similar to David Bowie’s Heroes which came out in October 77. In particular the intro. Give it a listen. Cheers

Just finished up this illustration along with 2 others for the super cool folks at @AgMuseum This one has to do with Eutrophication. What is that, you ask. Well tootle on down to the museum and find out. Always something new to learn about at the farm!!

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

I must admit I was little skeptical when @TheBlockCBC first launched, wondering if I would hear anything I enjoyed. I’m eating crow. The team has put together a fantastic show, so diverse, so fun and so funky!! It’s a definite go to every night at 7. Congratulations! Hats off!

@peggy_blair Good afternoon. I have some literature here about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I’d like to share with you!

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

So happy to hear that @danmanganmusic has been shortlisted for the @PolarisPrize. That album is a gem! Well deserved Dan. I think I’ll go put it on repeat now!

As this is Children's Picture Book Day, here is the cover of my very first picture book way back when for @orcabook. So love the wonder of working on a picture book, and I never want to lose sight of the fact how lucky I am that this my my job.

Happy Children’s Picture Book Day, everyone! Today we’re celebrating by reading these unique and inclusive Canadian books for kids. How about you? What's your favourite? Picture books are a wonderful way to introduce children to language and encourage a lifetime love of reading!

So wish I could’ve been in there in person Laurel Ridge Lions. Looks like it was a blast! Enjoy reading Billy Sure and if you have any questions just shout! ROAR!!

[Laurel Ridge ES @LaurelRidgeES]

We’re ready to start reading for Every Lion, One Book! We had so much fun in today’s kickoff assemblies with Lucky the Lion and illustrator Graham Ross 🦁 #EveryLionOneRoar #EveryLionOneBook

I’m a bit of a Luddite, so this is a first for me. Doing an illustration from start to finish on my iPad, and this is the work in progress. Fun to use, but I miss that pencil to paper experience.
Trying to keep up with those young whipper snappers.

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

One last thing to finish up. The opening projection for the performance on Sunday. Thank you @PlatypusTheatre for the chance to have such fun!!
5 more sleeps 'til the curtain rises!!

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

One could say, I'm head over heels about my work being used in an upcoming production of Charlotte and the Music Maker with @PlatypusTheatre and @CalgaryPhil If in Calgary in mid Jan (and who doesn't wanna be) check it out!!

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

Grey, overcast day here at Kid With A Crayon HQ, but inside safe and sound with the wonderful opportunity to work on a possible new book series about social, emotional learning for children. #luckystars

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

Kudos to @smallhallsfest for putting together the most recent tour. Saw @skydiggers Friday night in Merrickville and @HawksleyWorkman in Manotick last night. Both were stellar performances. Such great talent wrapped up in genuine, charming, self effacing folks. Thank you.

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

Starting in today on the final art for a wonderful local childrens' theatre company and the Calgary Philharmonic. Meet Charlotte, the feisty protagonist of the play. Whole lotta fun goin' on for me here!

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

Listening to @danmanganmusic talk to Tom on @cbcradioq right now, and it’s become increasingly apparent why I listen Dan’s music. So looking forward to the release of the album!! So glad you found your cool!!

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

@AgMuseum @FishOceansCAN Hey @AgMuseum Thanks for the lovely shout out. I'm wondering if you may have forgotten to put super-talented in front of my name though.🤪

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

@GaryPanton Hello Gary. I apologize for being a little late to the party. Here are a few panels I've done as promo pieces. Feel free to check more of my work at https://t.co/saJALh5gL5 and thank you for the opportunity.

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

@kaymfraser @copetoons Hello Kay, it was a really nice surprise to come across your tweet and your wonderful invitation. Feel free to visit https://t.co/saJALh5gL5 for samples of my children's book illustration done in a variety of media.

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

I mean really.... who doesn't love a laughing salmon. Here's one of the salmon family illustrations I finished up today for the fine folks at @AgMuseum . It's so nice to have the opportunity to work with them once again!

[Graham Ross @kidwithacrayon]

@sarahslean Unfortunately, I don't have a caption, but seeing that wonderful display of books by your wee ones head, might I suggest this gem from @orcabook illustrated by yours truly. Shameless plug 😀
