The Magic of Jimmy J.

I recently created this poster for Jimmy Joza, a Children’s Magician in Elmhurst, NY.

A promotional poster for Jimmy Joza's magic show.  A caricature of the magician is standing on stage before an audience of children.  He is holding up a wand and a white rabbit in a dramatic pose.  Behind him, there is a light flare with a parrot and various props from his act flying outward.  Across the top is the title, "The Magic of Jimmmy J."  This image is copyright @ 2023 Jimmy Joza.

Here’s an image that appears on page 9 of a coloring book about recycling commissioned by Positive Promotions for Earth Day.  Since this whole project was a rush job, I don’t think I got the characters quite as consistent as I usually do.  I think the boy on the left side’s head needs to be larger in comparison to his body.  Oh, well.  I’ll try to do better in the future.   🙂

Here’s an image that appears on page 7 of a coloring book about recycling commissioned by Positive Promotions for Earth Day.  I don’t think I quite hit the character consistency as well as I could have on the girl on the left.  Her cheeks really should have been a little rounder.  Casualty of this being a rush job.  But I really like how the overall scene with the tree and the swing and such turned out.

Here’s the second of two illustrations for the first page of a coloring book about recycling commissioned by Positive Promotions for Earth Day.  The box in this acts as a frame around a word puzzle to be added in production.

My Treehouse – Cover Spread

Well, I’ve been super busy lately.  When that happens, nothing gets posted on the website at all.  But today I’ve got a bit of a breather while I wait on feedback from a client, so I’m setting up some posts.

I illustrated a short graded reader for Learning A-Z titled My Treehouse.  Here’s the spread for the wrapped cover on that one.  The first page is the same image, but a cropped version showing just the right-hand side of this scene.
