In this episode of Book Banter we talk with Madi Hannan about art, pets and her children's picture book, Scrim on the Run.
-
Author/Illustrator of Scrim on the Run, Madi Hannan, known as “Madicat” in her art career, is a high school science teacher by day and an avid creative by night. When she’s not busy bringing characters to life with her signature whimsical charm, you can find her wrangling her mischievous pets: Jacques, the agility-loving Aussie; Butters, the cat with a lot of opinions; and Dante, the black cat who may or may not be plotting world domination. She’s also working on perfecting her sourdough bread recipe. Madi’s artistic journey has taken her from painting pet portraits to crafting door hangers and anything else she can put her doodles on. She firmly believes that life’s too short for boring art and that every story deserves a touch of humor (and maybe a hidden cat silhouette or two). Born and raised in New Orleans, Madi draws inspiration from the swamp and city that have given so much to her, especially her love of crawfish and snowballs. Madi has previously illustrated one children’s book, Fird the Bish, and is currently working on several more children’s books after her success of Scrim on the Run!
Scrim the dog got loose in the Big Easy, and New Orleans may never be the same. Known for his wiry fur and mischievous antics, Scrim has become a beloved figure in the city, darting through neighborhoods, dodging potholes, and leaving a trail of smiles wherever he goes.
