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.

Blackbirds

I was playing with my big zoom lens a week or so ago and came up with these.  Usually there are too many leaves to get pictures of the birds way up there, but it’s spring, so I got some halfway decent shots.  And I finally have a camera that’ll let me crop a shot and still have a decent size to do something with it.  Yay!

You can’t see it because these are low-res for-the-web versions, but there’s actually enough pixels to print if I wanted to.  🙂

Of course, blackbirds aren’t all that photogenic, but I did what I could from the ground.  🙂
