I had fun illustrating these winter scenes recently. I'm delighted with how this new book by Loni Hoots turned out! A Little Bird Holiday is now available on Amazon.
         Summer is over and the leaves are beginning to fall, and now it's time for Little Bird to go to school for the first time. Come along with him and Anne Marie as they navigate through the first day of learning the alphabet, numbers, and taking on new adventures.
I'm excited to announce that this poetry book written by Loni Hoots, and illustrated by me is now available on Amazon!    Halloween was a week ago, but I wanted to share a few photos of my new Halloween Coloring Book! This book features 25 unique Halloween-themed illustrations to color: Treat the Bat, Raven & Cauldron, Halloween Candy, Frankenstein Monster, Scaredy Cat, Ghost, Jack-o-Lantern, Mummy, Devil Octopus, Candy Corn Monster, Skeleton, Bat & Cauldron, Halloween Treats, Monster & Pumpkin, Lolly the Cat, Candy Spider, Vampire, Gourds, Pirate Mouse, Bat & Pumpkins, Witch Kitty, Raven & Pumpkin, Lonely Ghoul, Witch, and Damien the Ghost. Available now in my shop and on Amazon!
    I recently had the pleasure of creating the illustrations for Little Bird Meets Anne Marie, the second book in this series by by Loni Hoots! This sweet children's poem features the adventures of a little red bird and his new squirrel friend. It is now available on Amazon.
           A Swim in the River Story Book by Melissa Rohr I wanted to share a few photos of my newest story book, A Swim in the River. This book was commissioned by my aunt for her grandson - how fun! I enjoyed creating a picture book featuring life within a river, through watercolor illustrations.
Throughout this book, follow the story of a little fish and his daily journey through a stream. Meet all of the other creatures the fish encounters on his trip! This illustrated story book allows a young reader to engage with a narrative and come up with his or her own words while looking through the pages. View this book in my shop, and on Amazon!  My new Octopus Coloring Book! The second book in my collection of coloring books. (You can see the first here.) It will be available from The Inky Octopus and Amazon soon!
Update: you can now find the Octopus Coloring Book on Amazon and The Inky Octopus! This week I received the proof copy of my coloring book! I'm really quite happy with the quality of the book from CreateSpace. The cover has crisp colors and is nice and glossy. The inside pages have crisp lines, and I like the slight tooth of the paper, which will work nicely for a coloring book. I drew the animals and creatures in black ink, and I think this translated well to the final printed product. The book even has its own ISBN number, how cool is that? The coloring book ended up being 44 pages, with 20 different animals, characters and monsters. This Crazy Creatures Coloring Book is now available for sale from CreateSpace, as well as Amazon! I'd love if you'd check out the product pages, and click the "like" button near the top on the Amazon page. I'm also planning on having some copies available in my online shop, The Inky Octopus. Overall, I'd highly recommend CreateSpace for your own book project! |
