This was a fun project for the wonderful folks at Highlights. It's a summer reading poster that will be appearing in libraries and schools for summer reading. It's really, really big - much bigger than my 22" monitor.
It actually started out as just a spot drawing, but they liked it so much they decided to turn it into a poster.
With a little digital magic I adjusted the dpi and sizes, so that a larger drawing would work at poster size. This is the largest illustration I've ever done.
I was very pleased with how it turned out. I tried out a new technique of isolating some of the images as layers with shadows, so it looks kind of like a collage.
