DOMY Monster Show 2010

"Trouble Town" 8.5 x 11, Wax pencil

A Wonderbar Birthday to Me



This is the cover to the book I am illustrating for Dial Books for Young Readers (part of Penguin Group). I submitted final illustrations. I'm getting feedback from the editorial staff and we'll tinker them. We're close to finished though!
