Queer Person of Watercolour (dylanglynn.com)Dylan Glynn is a painter, author and animator based out of Toronto, Canada.
The immediacy of Glynn’s work also lends itself to a sense of naivety as seen in his debut picture book Rain Boy, released in the spring of 2020 by Chronicle Books. The book has been hailed as “…channel[ing] both a delightfully childlike aesthetic and emotionally charged expressionism” by Kirkus Reviews and “a critical addition to elementary collections to build empathy and acceptance.” in the School Library Journal’s starred review.
