Having a love for both the whimsical and the scary, his work is influenced by the art from the classic children’s books of his youth, and creepy, eerie stories he was told as a child. Growing up in the Carolina foothills, he was raised on regional mountain folklore filled with quirky characters, twisted endings, and dark humor. Halloween is obviously his favorite holiday.

When Daddy Snores is a children's picture book.
After their daddy comes home from work a boy and a girl try to determine what that awful noise is.
The sound there hear is terrible!! It can shake spiders off of walls; frighten the postman and the police; sound like thunder in a very bad storm; or maybe a lion or a tiger or a bear!
The two children seek and search and reason and rhyme to find the source of the sound. When mom comes home from the grocery store, she sets the two siblings straight.
This is a really cute book! It's small, compact and easily transportable. The prose is very catchy as it is full of rhymes and makes the story appeal in a sing-song kind of way.
The ideas the children come up with are funny, freaky and enjoyable for young readers to hear. This is even better if your child has a daddy who snores, then they can relate to the tale being told!
The artwork is done in an old cartoon style where the characters eyes are whited out kind of like Little Orphan Annie! Dark, bold strokes outline the bright colours set upon the pages. Illustrator

Author,
David E. Jones, originally wrote "When Daddy Snores" in 1978 as a poem and read it to his three children at bedtime and it was not illustrated until 2005. This is Jones' first book and its about to go into its second printing!!
My kids just loved hearing the tale and my seven year old really digs rhymes so it appealed to her in a very fundamental way by meeting her standards of books. She quickly claimed it for her library and I often hear her trying to read from the pages.

Kyle Webster is a seriously talented illustrator and designer that doesn't take himself too serious. Case in point - his viral video,
Original Design Gangsta he created back in 2006 that has an impressive 269,800 views on
You Tube.
Don't let the video fool you though. Kyle Webster is a hard working, professional sought after by some big league players. His client list includes
The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly and
USA Today. And his work has been recognized by
Communication Arts, Graphis and
Print Magazine.
Kyle's
illustrations and logo designs are examples of work built on a strong foundation of good conceptual thinking that comes to fruition through the skillful hand of an accomplished artist. His logos are deceivingly simple. They deliver their message instantly. However, only other designers and illustrators can appreciate the long hours and hundreds of thumbnail sketches that must go into his logos behind the scenes. Kyle's illustrations are rich in color and texture and his line-work is brilliant. Every line Kyle places on paper has a purpose.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.
