Hi, I'm Nolan Franklin.

A quick watercolor wash and sketchy pencil doodle of a whimsical bird, wearing a tall top hat.

I create picture books and poetry rooted in nature, wonder, and everyday humour—with a mischievous twist.

I’m in the studio building new picture-book (ages 4-6) dummies and poems. First sketches and spreads will pop up here as they grow.

Follow along on Bluesky or Substack.
