Wow! It's been a long time since I've posted any art on my art blog. I've been busy, good busy, art busy. Here are a couple of pages of my illustrations from a children's book that I've been working on for an author*. The author has done an excellent job writing this book and I think kid's will love it. We've been working out all the many finishing-up details for the printer, then the book will be for sale. I'll post the link for it here when we get it.

This is the second children's book I've had the priviledge and joy of illustrating. Illustrating kid's books is so much fun and so satisfying that  I constantly crave doing more. I really enjoy tweaking and changing my paintings to fit the author's vision of what they want the pages to look like. It's like solving a visual puzzle, very satisfying.  

So, have you got any ideas for a good children's book? Of course you do! I'm your illustrator :) Just drop me an e-mail.


This is the illustration for page 6. And below is for page 11, those are things found in a kid's pocket, wad of gum, straw wrapper, etc.


I'm hoping we'll be able to go up to see the ArtPrize contest and see who's art won the $250,000 prize. There were many other cash prizes too. It's the biggest art prize in history and it's very cool that it happened in Michigan. I'll post photos when we get back.
C U :)
