Big Bad Bear

Working on another book.  This is the cover...the bear was purple and now he is blue. The name of the book is Beware Beware of the Big Bad Bear.

Finished color cover art.

Sketch with title text

I am struggling a bit with this book.  I am not a blue person, so the color composition on this book is a challenge to me.  I had initially created the bear purple, but the last few book covers have had a very strong purple, green and yellow color composition.  So went out on a limb and made bear blue....not sure yet.  

Chicken

Dandy Dude...I guess he really is a rooster.LOL

Chicken

Don't be a chicken, wear bright clothes and 

try to fly even though everyone says a chicken can't fly.

The bottom two painting are from a chicken series 

I did several years ago.  They are long gone and 

all sold, but I keep all my images forever on my handy

dandy computer.  So the author of

Madame Poulet and Monsieur Roach saw them

and wanted Madame Poulet done in a similar style.

The top picture is Madame Poulet leaning out her

window first thing in the morning before the city awakes.  

I like how sassy she looks.  She belies the label...Chicken!!!

Prehistoric

Prehistoric party animal...

ha ha ha...I am actually working on a book

full of dinosuars right now.  This is the page 

I just finished. 

Impossibility

IF-Impossibility
At the moment pulling up the gigantic sweet potato seemed an impossibility.

Lucky this worked so well as I am pushing a deadline for a couple of projects.(smile)

This is a double page spread out of the next book from Dianne and I. I am currently working on Madame Poule and Monsieur Roach, a New Orleans folk tale. Yesterday I had that great feeling of reaching into the P.O. Box and getting that big yellow envelope that says contract! Yea!!
So...coming some time next year will be "The Gigantic Sweet Potato"
