Christmas countdown with my archive of winter-themed illustrations DAY 14:
Created for a children’s theater holiday production.
I can still recall being taught the *alternate* words to Jingle Bells in 2nd grade by my buddy Paul.
Decades later -- still funny.

Here is a great one, one of my favorites so far by David Hohn!

Created for a theater production of THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE.
Working in picture books I don’t often get a chance to create visual-analogy based images. So when I can it’s a real treat!

I have all of Derek’s books and awaiting his new Crimson Fall. They do not disappoint!
Anytime I need inspiration I just go have a read and thumb through.

Cover art from my book The Witch of Wickerson.
This book was an Inktober 2021 project where I created a page a day. The entire book took 7 weeks. One of the most creatively stressful but satisfying times in my career:)

How Little Petey Nesaway Tamed a Bumblefoot! Bumblefoot, Bumblefoot… What’s a Bumblefoot?
Could it be a new story churning and slinking around in my head? Me thinks yes…

Created for a children’s theater production based on Laura Numeroff’s book MERRY CHRISTMAS, MOUSE!
I always liked how much of the story is communicated in the warped perspective of the tree ornament.

For me, two exceedingly interesting movies this season- in terms of pristine shot staging and editing- have emerged this week: A Complete Unknown (my favorite) and Conclave. The way they build their storytelling blocks is (very different to each other) as precise as it is thrilling.

I love going through old sketches and picking one or two to add to and play with.
