What’s New

WORKSHOPS - for your library or organization! As a published author and illustrator, graphic designer, and experienced public speaker, I offer a presentation on Self-Publishing Children’s Books 101. The workshop covers critical points such as:
* Developing an idea/concept
* Story
* Importance of a dummy
* Design
* Illustration
* Traditional Publishing vs. Self-Publishing

You might also consider my presenting Picture Book Dummies: A Hands-on Workshop to help those with completed manuscripts learn how to make their story even better through the creation of a dummy.

Find details here or please contact me and inquire. I’d love to hear from you!

In my Etsy shop, you will find my original art, prints, cards, and, for the first time, the opportunity to purchase my award-winning picture book, Where Do Butterflies Go at Night, 2nd Edition personally signed. Once a shop for French Bulldog art exclusively, it now includes a wider variety of art.

My shop continues to be a work in progress. Take a look and see how I'm doing! Find me at JBalsamArt.
