I Does Sequential, Mm-Hmm, Part 1

Back in 2009-2010 I did a four book graphic novel series for Capstone's Stone Arch Books imprint. The brilliant Scott Nickel penned them and I drew them. The art director on the project, Bob Lentz, is flat out one of the best I've ever had the pleasure with which to work ... work with.

Story breakdown: kid gets angry, his head turns into a giant boulder.

Here are some of my favorite panels from the books. Click on them if you want to see them larger.

Jacob Wonderbar and the Cosmic Space Kapow : Selected Illustrations

Dial Books for Young Readers asked me to illustrate Nathan Bransford's wonderful book, Jacob Wonderbar and the Cosmic Space Kapow. We are working on the sequel now (shhhh). The original can be found at Amazon. 

Man at Work

This is why I am off the radar for the next three weeks. Finishing up interior illustrations for second Wonderbar book.

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!

I popped in at Amazon.com to discover the book is being released on my birthday—May 12, 2011.
