Upstream Art

Welcome to a world of the imagination brought to you here at Upstream Art. We hope you will enjoy our stories about kids and critters, robots and trolls.

These stories come from a period when we were telling stories to our grandson before he went to bed. We recorded many of these tales, which he would listen to online at bedtime. We also wrote short, silly books to read to our granddaughter, which also made it online.

Our selection of stories right now is aimed for the younger kids. These include short video-stories playfully developed from our silly books. These include Ben's Hat, Tommy Tickle (who ate too many pickles) and Silly Nelly’s Jelly. Maybe your grandchildren will enjoy them.

In the future we hope to bring you stories about Strongbones and his adventures and stories about the Ayatsuri Ningyo Robot (AKA Squeaky Toy), Gustave Panier and Igglyopteron Uberoperon, Crown Prince of Jenakopolala, who crashes his space cruiser on Earth. ,
