Because I want my next book to be heavily crosshatched–I’ve been doing many studies in that style as of late. These are for a show I’m submitting to where all of the work has to be 4″x6″. I plan to do about 10 drawings total–more to post soon.

Crosshatching and a 4×6 weekend
July 27, 2008If a story can win
July 23, 2008
For about a year now I have been setting aside hours of my day to work on a particular story. It should have been a simple counting book but I found out quickly that penning a counting book is anything but simple. It has to be good, it has to have a wonderful story, it has to be different from all other counting books…..It has become TOUGH.
I will however keep on writing draft upon draft of my odd little world of counting. The one good thing I can say at this point is that I have many notebook pages filled with words and drawings of redbirds, like this one.
The Bedtime Train
July 16, 2008Here are a few works from my soon-to-be-released new book The Bedtime Train. This first page is just a sample of some of the spot illustrations that appear through the pages of the story.
This spread is among my favorites–if I am allowed to play favorites with my own work.
This book will be released in October but is available for pre-order on a few sights–Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Borders Books, etc. I’ll give you a few links here:

28
July 2, 2008Today I am 28 and I feel good. I’ve been working on lots of drawings, stuffed animals and lines of text for what I hope will be my next book. So–to everybody else who happens to share July 2nd as their birthday..Happy Birthday to you.
