When the World is Dreaming

Hello everyone! Today is publishing day for "When the World is Dreaming" written by Rita Gray and illustrated by me. I really like how this odd, quiet picture book turned out. A stronger lean towards traditional media, I worked more with watercolor on this one. Please enjoy and thanks for the lovely support. Published through HMH, ed. Kate O'Sullivan, AD Cara Llewellyn, and represented by Kirsten Hall.

"Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn" Pub Day!

Today is publishing day for "Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn"! The publisher is Macmillan/Henry Holt, and you can find our picture book at most book stores and on-line retailers. Based on memories of my mother's long walks into Maryland's forests and parks, "Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn" is about a young girl and her friends as they walk through the woods and a local town. On their day out, they see the deep greens of summer change to the ruddy, glowing warm colors of the coming fall. Our book has gotten some really nice reviews --- something that I did not anticipate. Thank you so much for your support --- I hope you like "Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn"!

Drawing for Cloud Country

Here's a drawing I did for Noah Klocek. His new picture book "Cloud Country"
(Disney Hyperion) is coming out soon. Me and a good dozen artists were honored
to do inspired art for Noah's new book. When you've got the time, check out
"Cloud Country"!

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

A sneak preview of the cover to my debut picture book as author/illustrator! We're still working out the printing, but everything looks really nice. Official publishing is late summer 2016 through Henry Holt/Macmillan. I'm not sure how to feel at this point --- a mixture of exhausted and grateful. More later!

Almost Ready
