Here’s image 3 of 3 for the cover of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. A boy talking to a police officer in his neighborhood. Vehicles are hard for me, but I like how the police car turned out.
This is the last color image for this book.
Here’s image 2 of 3 for the cover of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. Two girls crossing the street at a crosswalk when the light tells them it’s safe.
I recently completed another coloring book for Positive Promotions. This one is about teaching safety to kids. I think it’s supposed to be handed out by the police and firefighters and such. It’s about when to call 911, anti-bullying, crossing the street safely, anti-drug… things like that.
The cover has three color images showing different safety situations. This first one shows a boy calling 911 for a house fire.
I colored an old sketch of my brother. Now, you may think this is an insulting picture because of the foolish expression he’s wearing, but it isn’t. This is my brother making silly faces for his nieces. This is my brother being awesome. Love you, Eric.
Here’s the completed image. It was designed as a full spread. That means nothing important in the way of the center fold. Also, not much is happening on that right side because it would have a fade over most of that half with text overlaid.
Here’s the scene with a few more leaves and the characters roughed in. I’ll adjust the placement a bit and work on the proportions a little. Need to figure out how to do the folds on the lower girl’s shirt. Then comes final lines and coloring. 
Making progress…
And I’m done! Here’s the cover image for The Genie Loophole by Paul Maguire which I’ve been working on for the last two months or so. I’ll post a link when it goes up for sale!
I reworked my Medusa image because the original black and white one was sort of visually confusing. This one’s better. I haven’t decided what I’ll use it on yet. Coffee mug, anyone?
Here’s a poster of it.
The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) is having a Postcard Illustration Contest. I created some images for the competition. They are supposed to be kite-themed. Here’s the first one.
