I don't post here often, because my schedule is filled with more than children's book illustration, however, my latest project was for a Christmas early reader, and now that the publisher has sent the files to the printer, now I can share.
This was my first kid's book illustrated purely digitally, so it was quite an experience. I normally only paint digitally for novels and some older kid's genres, like MG or YA (which are only sometimes illustrated).
Strangers in the Stable, by Jim Laughter and 4RV Publishing, is a charming twist to the traditional Christmas tale, which makes me doubly honored to have been the illustrator. Now, for a peek at the illos:
 |
| The stores and shops teemed with life, and people lined up at tables in the marketsquare, signed books, and paid money to men in flowing red robes and shiny hats. |
 |
| Finally, three more men entered from out of the night. Kings, the people called them. They carried gifts and laid them before the child and his parents. |
 |
| The kids got to know the young family, and even Young Billy became friends with Mary. |
