Background work for "Harold the Bully"

A lot of time this year went into a book for Discover Writing called Harold the Bully. It's got a talking-animal cast (a first for me, despite its being one of the most 'children's book' of all children's book conceits).  Coming up with the character designs was one of the basic challenges.

Here are some of the drawings and paintings that came out of that process.

Some images from Capital Mysteries 14: Turkey Trouble on the National Mall

 

I did these ages ago, but since the book is pubbing this August, I thought it was time to get some of these up. It's a Thanksgiving-themed story this time: KC and Marshall celebrate Thanksgiving by getting tangled up with turkey thieves. Adventure ensues!

Not dead, just sleeping

There's been a little bit of hiatus around here, which will be ending soon. I've had stuff to post for ages and keep not getting to it.

Thanks for checking in!

In the meantime, check out the other blog, which was woken up earlier this year...
