Hi, All! It's been a busy month! I just finished the artwork for "Big Red and the Little Bitty Wolf", to be released by Magination Press in spring 2016! I hope to be able to share some images from this book soon. However, in the meanwhile, here is my new promotional piece. I wanted to create something to appeal to upper elementary readers, and I have always loved magic, mystery and steampunk. I had a lot of fun with lighting in this piece. Hope you enjoy!

Fun mail. A copy of "Highlights High Five" came in with one of my hidden pictures inside. Many of these horses pictured are similar to ones I played with as a child. Olivia and I had fun doing the puzzles in this magazine together today!

It was a fun mail day for me. I just got my illustrator copies of "All My Stripes", my newest picture book to be released by Magination Press in spring 2014. "All My Stripes" is a story about a zebra named Zane who feels out of place due to his autistic stripe. Zane's mother gives him space to express his feelings of being different, and helps Zane to see and appreciate his many other "stripes". While "All My Stripes" is foremost a book that reaches out to children on the autism spectrum, it is also a great story for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider....which is something that I think everyone can relate to. Since one of Zane's interests is math, I have hidden visual "Easter eggs" throughout the book that pertain to math and math history. It was such a challenging, enriching and ultimately fun project to be a part of! I can't wait for the release in the spring!

Check out this special Highlights hidden pictures image that I did for The Day of the Dead, sponsored by 20th Century Fox for their new movie "The Book Of Life". This was a great piece to work on, because in addition to working with some fun imagery, I got to learn about another culture's holiday, which I was previously unfamiliar with. I love how each of my projects opens the door for me to learn something new! Happy Fall, everyone!

Hope you can join us for the Book Signing and Storytime for "The Summer Fairy" this coming weekend! There will be fun take-aways for the kids as well. Also, check out the article that our local newspaper "Current in Carmel" ran about "The Summer Fairy"! It gives a little of the back story as to how the family tradition spread to friends and neighbors, and then became a vision for a full novelty picture book.

My agency puts out a quarterly catalog featuring all of the artists in our group, and each catalog has a theme. The second catalog of the year has the theme "Family", and I decided to take a slightly darker view of the subject than would be "typical" for the children's market, but is nonetheless very real for many children.

They say you can't go home again...but just who are these mysterious "they," anyway? What do they know?
Dave and I are out to prove them wrong--tomorrow night!
We're going to be presenting a rockin' (we hope) book talk about So Punk Rock at our hometown library, aka South Orange Public. We'll be chatting with adolescents of all ages from 7-8:30pm. If you're local, we'd love to see you.
Click here for the info.
Rock on,
