Don’t tell my wife, she loves Disney, but the higher ups at that company are terrible people who run a pretend happy company.

I love the idea of reposting old art. So I guess I'll start with Colourful. Maybe someone hasn't seen this piece yet. #kidlitart #illustration #childrensbooks17 Apr 2026 15:55 +0000at://did:plc:lukcw2euyfpkyb3bbm5h625g/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjpbxaixu22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/normgrock.bsky.social/post/3mjmwb74ffc2hHere are some character sketches that didn’t quite make the cut for my upcoming choose your own adventure book. These sketches didn't fit the character, but I still think they're fun and worth sharing. Instead of being forgotten on my hard drive. #kidlitart #illustration #childrensbooks16 Apr 2026 17:20 +0000at://did:plc:lukcw2euyfpkyb3bbm5h625g/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjmwb74ffc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/normgrock.bsky.social/post/3mijqs5abzs25More coloring comics today.

Nintendo took all their Mario toys and threw them into a box, shook it around, and what fell out was this colorful, energetic movie. 7/10 I'm guessing the next movie will be The Super Mario Smash Brothers movie. Given all the cameos.02 Apr 2026 17:32 +0000at://did:plc:lukcw2euyfpkyb3bbm5h625g/app.bsky.feed.post/3mijqelgp3s25https://bsky.app/profile/normgrock.bsky.social/post/3migzibegkk24Happy mario movie day!

Right after, I found out that the writer of the book wrote a nice blog post about me. "Fairy House Halloween, is also illustrated by the unstoppable Norm Grock. Man, this guy is so good. He truly understands the assignment."17 Feb 2026 19:04 +0000at://did:plc:lukcw2euyfpkyb3bbm5h625g/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf3aybsays2f
