custom painting for collin

this last commission was for me. i don't usually paint in silhouette nor do i pant graphically (for a lack of a better word). however, when the client gives you carte blanche, well life is a whole lot easier. :)

below are the reference photos i was given, my sketch and the finished painting is above.

{i think i did ok....never met a challenge i didn't like. ;)}

4. Review: Gus Makes a Friend by Frank Remkiewicz

By Bianca Schulze, The Children’s Book Review
Published: February 9, 2012

Scholastic Reader Pre-Level 1: Gus Makes a Friend

By Frank Remkiewicz

Reading level: Ages 3 and up

Paperback: 24 pages

Publisher: Cartwheel Books (November 1, 2011)

Source: Publisher

What to expect: Friendship, Snow

Recognizable to many as the illustrator of Jack London’s Froggy series, Frank Remkiewicz has developed a new early reader series staring a sweet natured rhinoceros named Gus.

Gus wants to go outside and play when he peers out the window and sees snow. His parents are both busy, so Gus uses initiative and builds himself a snowman named Snow Boy. The happy colored cartoon illustrations really help to bring the story to life—Gus is almost always smiling and all of the characters ooze a joy that subliminally encourages new readers to read on. The sentence structures are simple and short —the longest sentence is comprised of five  words—yet, in Gus Makes a Friend, Remkiewicz still manages to pack entertainment into the large and easy-to-read text. Published by Scholastic as a level Pre 1 “First Reader,” “Gus” books are a great choice for preschoolers and kindergartners.
