I'm happy to be posting again about my Maggie and Oliver book illustration project, with an update! Things were put on hold this summer because my lovely & wonderful editor moved to another house. (It's publishing. It happens.) The book was reassigned to a new editor (just as lovely & wonderful)* and I'll be finishing up the cover and endpaper art in the next month or so. Look for a Fall '11 publication date! I still intend to blog about the whole process of working on the book– probably closer to the release.
Meanwhile, here's a sneak peek at one of the interior illos:
*(Just gotta say, I'm feeling really, really fortunate to have the chance to work with so many lovely & wonderful people!)
This is a map I worked on last year for a book that's finally coming out in December! The book is called Hands of the Rain Forest: The Emberá People of Panama, by Rachel Crandell. It was great fun to research colors and patterns for the border on this one.
I'm a big fan of books with maps. As a reader I find it helpful to have a picture in my head of the story's location, whether it's for a non-fiction book like this one, or a novel with an invented setting. (Just my two pence!)
No map art to show this morning, other than material for a cool new project-- a map of the Oregon Trail for Kimberly Willis Holt's upcoming novel! (Here's a list of her fabulous books, and she also blogs, here.) I'm trying to restrain myself from using too many exclamation points in this post, but oh, what the heck!! I'm excited!!!
I'll post more as I get farther along with sketches.
Really wonderful! My favorite piece by you. Reminds me of pre war German art.
Looks great Jennifer! Congratulations! Can't wait to find it on the shelves!
Awesome!
Looks great!
Ohhhh it looks fantastic Jen!!! I can't wait to see this book :o)
Looks amazing - love the sense of mysetry! And good luck with your new editor.
That rat looks pretty damn scary!
Lively illustration!
Oh wow, thanks so much, everyone!!! I really appreciate it. :-)
Eric-- Thanks for the interesting comparison. I will have to check that out.
Elizabeth-- The last time I saw I rat it was WAY too close for comfort... they ARE scary! =:-O
Really wonderful and I agree w/Eric, very retro. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

Love this Jennifer, - actually it reminds of Lois Lensky, my favorite childhood illustrator.
Ellen
Thanks so much, Mary!
And thank you, Ellen! Wow, that's quite a compliment! :-)
