So, I updated this one. It’s about twice as long now and more fully reflects the intricacies of a true internet debate.

(There’s a lot of text in this one. Please let me know if you spot any typos. Thanks.)

Boy Reading Published in SCBWI

So, I received my copy of the SCBWI Bulletin in the mail yesterday and I found out which of my images they picked to publish. Turns out it’s Boy Reading, an image I sent them in May of 2012. Yay! So, when they say they hang onto artwork to use later, they really aren’t kidding!

So, I haven’t posted much lately because I’ve been busy doing this.

Finding Work

A boring, but unfortunately necessary, part of the job. I’ll get back to drawing once I’m done with this chore.

If you’d like to hire me, I am accepting commissions. I’d love the excuse to take a break from self-promotion work. Or if you’d like to join my mailing list, I’d be happy to send you a free postcard. Just contact me with your name and address.

Here’s the finished image. I was playing with different ways to do cartoony jungle tree trunks and branches.

Here’s a work in progress for a personal project I’m working on. My daughter wanted a poster of a monkey swinging by its tail from a tree with a banana. I’ve just about got the monkey done, next to tackle the scenery. I’m working in Illustrator because I’m not sure how big she’s going to want me to print it. Vector graphics are infinitely scaleable, unlike raster art. Monkey for Katie
