Hi Brad, I had to come check out our site after you posted to illustrators for kids. You work blew me away this morning. It was such a nice way to start the day to see your beautiful illustrations. I love your style! I am so happy to have the SCBWI illustration blog so I can be introduce to all you amazing illustrators in Kansas.

Both are amazing. One of the many things that makes you great — the ability to see multiple perspectives and the willingness to try different angles.

Thanks, Katie! And to your students… In High School, I never revised because I felt my first attempt was fresh and exciting, and that I would not be able to duplicate that on future attempts. I was WRONG. In college I learned the value of sketching and revising and trying new things. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. That's how you grow as an artist!

Both of the images are beautiful! I think I'm going to show this post to my Art students so they can see that artists really do revise their work and try new things instead of doing something "good enough". My younger students at Pauline Central were very excited to meet you last spring!

Thanks Emily! It's been fun working on the sketches. I'm not yet sure what the final art will look like, so I'm noodling about with a few different looks.

Phil, the kids and adults pictured above live only in my imagination.

Awesome, are there real-life folks that influenced any of these?

Thanks, Phil! After reading the manuscript, the first image that filled my mind's eye was the rooster. Expect him to appear on the cover in all his flamboyant, greet the morning sun, glory!
