Here’s the first interior page of the picture book I just finished for Entrepreneur Media, Inc. This image will have text overlaid over the sky and maybe the tops of the buildings. This is a nice spring day.

The Neighborhood’s Night – Page 6
Here’s the 4th illustration for the book project I just finished for Learning A-Z. Page 6 of The Neighborhood’s Night by Juliana Catherine.
So, this is actually the full-wrap version of cover image, including a half inch bleed all around it. But it’s also going to be used on page 6 as a spot illustration. For that they’ll crop off about a quarter of the image from the left side and some from the top, bottom and right as necessary to fit the spot.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 12
Here’s an image for page 12 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This one uses the same scene as the one on the cover, only this time it’s too boys and they’re waiting at the curb, since the light still shows the, “Don’t Walk,” symbol.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 10
Here’s an image for page 10 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This one covers the subject of stranger danger. While there may very well be nothing nefarious at all about this friendly man in his unmarked panel van, it’s suspicious and he could be dangerous. Better for the kids to stay away and not risk it.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 8
Here’s an image for page 8 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This shows children playing in the yard in front of their home.
I just noticed I messed up the girl’s feet a little. The angle I drew them at doesn’t match the angle of the sidewalk. 😦
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 3, Image 2
Here’s 2 of 4 images for page three of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This page is showing four situations where you should call 911. This one shows a crime happening. Someone’s just snatched that backpack from the woman on the trail.
This illustration was originally supposed to be a purse rather than a backpack, but they switched it to a backpack in the first round of revisions. For some reason I rather enjoy drawing backpacks. I always draw them as this leather-bottom Jansport kind like I had when I was in high school. 🙂
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 3, Image 1
Here’s 1 of 4 images for page three of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This page is showing four situations where you should call 911. This one shows the house fire from the cover. This raised ranch reminds me of the houses in my neighborhood.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 2
Here’s an image for page two of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. A girl explains to her little brother that they live at 731 Fisher Road. The mailbox and house both have the numbers 731 on them and the street sign at the corner shows their street is called Fisher Road. The illustration shows how addresses work.

Here’s an image for page one of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. A bunch of kids playing safely in their front yards. I tried to include a couple of kids playing street hockey because my youngest is a hockey girl, but they didn’t want to encourage kids playing in the street. 😦 Oh well. So long as the client’s happy. 🙂
Safety Book – Cover Image 3
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.
