Probably more than you'll ever want to know...  ;)

It was a fun interview to do, and hat's off to Kathy Temean and her marvelously comprehensive and informative blog, "Writing and Illustrating-Sharing Information About Writing and Illustrating for Children"  !

October is COVERED!

I have had the great honor of having my illustration selected as this month's cover for the kid lit magazine
 Underneath the Juniper Tree.  I hope you have fun reading this scary, gory, and irreverently fun literary magazine.  Aslo, be sure and look for a couple of Teddy limericks (p. 117), and an illustration for a story called, "Bedtime,"
(p. 83).
Enjoy...if you dare ;)

Homage to Rackham

A little something inspired by the great Arthur Rackham (and in stylistic contrast to my previous post):

Greenness

  I decided to look though my sketchbook for things green and---since he's so, well...green, I had to post him before the day is finished.

Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral

Moon Snail Shell  (three views)

Idea for a Garnished Turnip
gouache on paper

When I was growing up, my dad would say, when we asked him a question, "Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?"  So here is a "vegetable" - a turnip that I decided to embellish, and a "mineral" - a moon snail shell from my scientific illustration days.  (So now I can say, "animal, vegetable, mineral" in my tags :) )

Taddy Pole

People seem to love my little Taddy Pole (maybe it's those red rubber boots)!  He was a bit of a challenge to come up with, since all the tadpole reference photos I found were really not screaming "personality."  But, he was fun to concoct, non-the-less.  One of my favorite quotes is by Beatrix Potter:
          "A frog may wear galoshes; but I don’t hold with toads having beards or wigs!"
--Hence the inspiration for Taddy's boots.

Illustration Friday - "Stir"

What could be better to stir things up with than a couple of big spoons?

Illustration Friday - "Warning"
