Evolution of a cover

You might be surprised at how a book cover changes.

Plan A: A combination of a few characters and a train car.

Not this image, but maybe one of these people.

(And not that train car. That's where they sell cotton candy.)

Plan B: Maybe the main character hiding.

Plan C: Something like this, maybe. (I blotted out the 

title and author/illustrator info. I'm the illustrator

and I know who the author is, but the title might change.)

Plan D: 

I think we're going with an expansion of this.

Whatever we end up with, it'll be my best work.

Presidents' Day!

Mindy and Mully definitely had fun at their neighbor's annual Presidents' Day party.

Hope your week is off to a great start!

From Nessie With Love

Here is an early sketch when I was still trying to figure my banner out, and the finished product.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Marketing yo' self, or through your agency

Well, this is a promotional piece I'm doing through Prospect Agency and my fabulous agent Teresa Kietlinski! A Valentine's postcard being sent out to publishers, editors and the like. Here I included the sketches as well.

Have a great weekend!
