Poultrygeist by Mary Jane Auch (Author), Mary Jane (Illustrator), Herm Auch (Illustrator); Holiday House, 2004

Ages 4-8

I've always been a fan of horror movies, so I couldn't resist this title. Two roosters compete every morning to see who's the loudest and biggest, but Clarissa the cow and Sophie the pig need their beauty rest. Halloween is right around the corner, and when the animals are in the barn putting together their Halloween costumes, poultrygeist appears. Will the two roosters change their ways because of their fright? It's a bit predictable, but the book is still a fun read.

Editorial illustration for HOMME magazine. I was given very specific instructions for this and a very very tight deadline so didn't have time to do as much research or preliminary sketches as I'd have liked to, but am not tooooo unhappy with the way it turned out.

Raja Malek is a brilliant set designer and talented all-around creative mind, who is also an old friend of mine, so I tried to portray both his sweetness and determination and I hope I've come close -- with the only photograph i had to work from!

ON a different note I've been doing up a card and some products for a friend of mine who will be turning 40 soon. As I don't think she peeks into this blog too often (neither do my family!!!) I think it's safe to post them up here ...

The one I did up for her actually has her name on it -- I did this version to put up on my online stores. Phew. Am now off to find something to draw for today! Cheers!
