"Allie's New Class"



Another "Friend" assignment!

I'm absolutely LOVING working in Photoshop!! 
It's a far cry from watercolor, especially when you can change your mind as often as you want!

I'm also enjoying the brushes I purchased from kylebrush.com.  
They are fabulous!! Especially the watercolor sets!

More work with The Friend

One of my favorite clients, is "The Friend," a children's publication by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I've been able to illustrate a few stories for them lately.
Here are a few of the illos from one called "Day and Night:"




I like to add a few personal bits to each illo I do, such as the snowman and the chimp doll. It's wonderful when a client lets you have fun with the assignment.
Here are a couple more:

Jennie's Song Is Published!



Jennie was finally published this past July! 

I've been talking about it and sharing bits from time to time, and as I designed it from start to finish, with input from Karen of course, it's taken a while!
But it's finally out!
It's a sweet story about a little girl who learns that all living things have a song in their hearts. 

Here is a peek inside:



Some of the pages are double spreads like these:




and some smaller vignettes: 


The author, Karen Pool self published and it is available here:
