Books published by publisher BABY TATTOO BOOKS

A cinematically proportioned coloring book based on Brian Kesinger's popular picture book "Walking Your Octopus" which showcases the day-to-day adventures of independent girl-about-town Victoria Psismall and her pet land octopus Otto. Forty-eight ready-to-color illustrations humorously chronicle the duo's home life, travels and social adventures. The Victorian era characters and period-influenced design elements provide a visual spectacle that is as fun to look at as it is to color.

This entertaining collection unveils eight all-new, fiendishly illustrated cautionary tales exploring the dark underbelly of childhood. Childhood standards, including Little Jack Horner, Solomon Grundy and Three Blind Mice, are retold as dark and sinister rhymes about atrociouslymannered children who meet particularly unpleasant fates. Fans of Edward Gorey and Roald Dahl will feel right at home among Gris Grimly’s misbehavers. Gris’ extraordinary vision will deliciously haunt the imaginations of adults and alternative kids alike.

Over the years, there has been a secret tradition of after-hours passion projects privately created by talented artists responsible for developing stories and visuals for animated motion pictures.A diverse group of entertainment industry professionals, who work collaboratively in teams during the day, burn the midnight oil pursuing personal artistic goals as a way to hone their skills and broaden their horizons. From time to time, these free-thinking visionaries focus their individual efforts on one mutually agreed upon theme as a method to ignite their imaginations and juxtapose their kaleidoscopic points-of-view.In the past, you might never have had a chance to get a book like this (personal, quirky, independent, and creatively unrestricted) unless you were a studio insider. Now, one of these unofficial, off-the-radar story collections is being quietly offered to collectors by Baby Tattoo Books, and you are invited to partake in this secret society of artistic storytellers and narrative art lovers. From the hearts, minds, and pens of dozens of women and men who work (or have worked) in the Story and Visual Development departments at major animation studios comes an anthology of short stories in graphic novel form that reflects on the question “When Is High Moon?”.***The Storytellers:Alisha Gibson, Allen Ostegar, Andy Harkness, Bill Schwab, Brian Kesinger, Brittney Lee, Camille André, Carlos Romero, Carrie Liao, Chris Hubbard, Chris Ure, Dan Abraham, David G.

Ten years ago, renowned gallery artist Brandi Milne and independent publishing company Baby Tattoo created a wonderfully quirky and ridiculously sweet picture book with the perfectly awkward title So Good For Little Bunnies. The story was illustrated with Brandi’s distinctly recognizable art, of course, but it also used whimsical writing to tell a tale of youthful exuberance. The entire print run sold out, and the book became a collector’s item. For years, fans have been asking where they can find a copy. Drumroll please… So Good For Little Bunnies is about to be re-released in an embellished 10th Anniversary Edition with a reimagined cover and unique die-cut endpapers. As described when the book was originally published in 2008... "Be Be and her little bunny doll Ginger Finley embark on a summertime journey to Yummy Town Carnivale. Along the way, they are joined by a big oaf named Hoxie Clark, a one-eyed lemonade vendor named Captain Solo and a nameless surly beast. This nothing-but-fun adventure is narrated with childlike abandon. The untamed prose is filled with unusual descriptions and unexpected detours that will have adults scratching their heads but will leave kids smiling with glee. Packed with beautiful art and whimsical heart, this book is sure to be so good for all the little bunnies on your shopping list."
