Drawing Life with George Booth
By Nathan Fitch
You may not know his name, but you’ve almost definitely seen his comics. This documentary short will introduce you to George Booth, one of the oldest living New Yorker cartoonists.
How to Think When You Draw, Book 2
By Lorenzo Etherington
Lorenzo Etherington’s How to Think When You Draw offers in-depth illustration tutorials for beginners and pros alike. He’s back to print the second book in the series, but he also plans to reprint the first volume and one of his own art books to boot.
Dino Duel
By Stephen Caution
Quirky cartoon dinosaurs, dice rolling, and friend-dueling — need we say more about this tabletop game? (Watch out for mass extinction events!)
Raven Wild
By Adam Reynolds
Adam Reynolds, Caitlin Spice, and Chaz Harris are on a mission to represent LGBTQ role models in children’s books. Their latest illustrated adventure follows a reckless young boy named Hawk who transitions into a courageous young woman named Raven.
