Done with the first new spread for my next picture book, "From Another Star." twobridgespublishing.com/star/
This page means a lot to me; it's the linchpin of a story about asking questions: What's out there, who are you? I want to know more.
Stay tuned for more.

Did another pass of my campfire sketch.
I replaced the older male (see below) with a more teenage camp counselor.
Much better, more relatable.
I'm really looking forward to finishing the illustration.

some great advice from my picture book art rep, I totally revised my campfire story concept.
In the first illustration I changed the shot angle for a more dramatic effect, and stripped down the details so there’s room for text, makes for a more clearer story.
Enjoy.

My goal now is to illustrate new concepts over the winter and refresh my portfolio. This idea is more suitable for YA or middle-grade readers, but it would be good to have in the portfolio.

I have to constantly freshen up my picture book portfolio, so I'm always coming up with new ideas.
As a young boy, I always loved going on my class trip to the museum.
Doing this as a vector illustration will be a fun challenge.
