Hi John:
Your illustrations are both whimsical and surrealistic. I really liked looking at them all.
When I saw Kert I thought you'd be a great fit for our “pirate” theme stage.
Would you be able to come to our festival on October 5th and do a drawing demonstration?... more

Hi John, Welcome to Jacketflap, Thank you for the wonderful insight on whales, and yes baby whales have personalities too. I am happy you like Winnie the Whale. I hope the children and adults who read the book will enjoy the adventures of Winnie the whale. I can't wait to read your works:)

Hi John, Thanks for the compliments. Most of my pieces are in the 8x10" to 9x12" range. I think the largest I've worked on (in colored pencil) is 12x18". You're work is quite lovely as well - love your bright colors also!
