About the Artist
Not a neatnik.Hi. My name is Kim Soderstrom. I wrote and illustrated The Grabbits, a fluffy tale that gives messy humans (like me) a little extra inspiration to clean up.
The joyful disaster in the video was my childhood playroom. The photo is my grown-up workspace. Luckily, researchers say creativity and messiness go together. Still, it's hard to do creative things when you're hunting for routine stuff. (Where is my stylus?!) I created The Grabbits to offer a funny way to reframe the struggle against messiness and (fingers crossed! ) inspire neater habits. After having my rescue rabbit Indy steal stuff from my desk, it made complete sense to attribute the loss of random things to supernatural bunny bandits. For me, the Grabbits give form to the chaos that imposes consequences for disorganization and make me chuckle as I get myself to put things away. I hope the Grabbits make you smile and do the same for you! |
