About the artist: Kickliy is the creator of the critically acclaimed Musnet
series of books. Musnet was nominated for the 2017 Prix Angouleme for Kids
Comics. Kickliy is also an accomplished oil painter. He lives somewhere between
Minneapolis and Giverny.
About Musnet: Springtime. Giverny, France. Mid 1800’s. A young boy mouse
travels the country side looking for work and happens upon Monet’s garden. He
takes on a job and becomes inspired to learn to paint. Will he paint in the
classical ways, or in the new style of the impressionist? Which way will his
brush sway?
Set in the midst of one of the great moments in the history of art, Musnet is a
coming of age story for the young aspiring artist. Kickliy’s fluid ink and
watercolors evoke the magic of the period and the country setting for the
story. The paintings of Musnet and Monet, are actually mini-oil paintings
within the story.
Kickliy's book signing and sketching will be taking placing during Seward's
annual art crawl and Winter Frolic, which takes place Dec 1-3. Seward
neighborhood businesses will be offering specials and local artists will
display their work at several venues. More information about the winter frolic
and art crawl here: https://sewardarts.org/seward-winter-frolic/
