Favorite Doctor Who Artists

By -

I like to dance around with words - but I wasn't blessed with artistic talent. Thankfully, there are some amazing artists out there. Some of my favorites are also Whovians, and they make the world a brighter place with their creativity and talent.


If you like your Who a bit mashed up, then Karen Hallion is the artist for you. (Visit her on Facebook - she posts new art a lot!) While she creates pieces using many themes, my absolute favorites are her Disney/Doctor mashups. Her Alice mashup, "Falling", is the best of the best. I own this one as a tee. If you look closely, you'll notice the tiniest details all throughout the drawing. A fez on a shelf. Bad Wolf on the wall. Adipose, Sunflowers.. it's awesome!

Find this as a print or notecard on Etsy.
Get it as a shirt on The Shirt List

Karen has also done Merida, Cinderella, Snow White, Red Riding Hood, and more. Oh.. and here's another personal favorite... Yes, that IS Hermione in the fireplace! Mix my favorite, bravest bookworm with the Doctor in Converse? Perfection!

Find this print at Karen Hallion's Etsy Store. 
Or on Redbubble at her shop.




In a different vein, James Hance does extremely realistic artwork from a wide variety of geeky fandoms. I personally own several of his amazing prints of Princess Leia (including a fun one where Han and Leia are drawn as the old couple from the movie UP!). 

He has done tributes to favorite companions:
"Rose" 
"My Sarah Jane"


And the Doctors separately and together....

"Descent of the Doctors"

Every time something comes out in Doctor fandom, James Hance starts working. He'll even sometimes capture his process on video for us all to see! 

One of the best parts is that even though his original paintings and drawings go for a LOT on eBay, he sells the prints for $15 each. (Visit his site - Relentlessly Cheerful Art - JamesHance.Com) At that price, I'll be picking up some of the Doctor prints soon. (Check him out on Facebook. He's super active and a lot of fun to follow!)

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely the truth. Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter. The Only and Only Ivan , The
