Happy book birthday to Broken Dolls! I was honored to draw the jacket illustration for Ally's third book and because AD David pretty much gives me free rein I took the chance to also illustrate Ally's author pic again, hehe. 👻

I went through my folders of personal art (most of it I don't share anymore) but I found this one I liked. A little b&w illu I did in my free time of a scene in The Whisperwicks 1, which I illustrated the french book cover for.

Hi Brian! Here is some of my lettering from the covers I have illustrated. (The octopus one wasn't taken for the final, but it was still a fun one to draw. 😊)

I hope to be able to post more soon again, right now I'm taking a little break from all the social media.

Here is some of my work:
