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!

New art! These are a few of the images for Capital Mysteries #12: Ghost at Camp David. This is the latest in the series by Ron Roy that I've been illustrating for Random House.

Capital Mysteries #11: The Secret at Jefferson's Mansion

The final art for my current project, The Secret at Jefferson's Mansion, the new title in the Capital Mysteries series, is about half-done right now; I'll have some samples to post after the holidays. And yes, I know the Capital Mysteries page on my website is in serious need of updating...

Jefferson's Mansion sketches and research

One of the things I enjoy about illustrating the Capital Mysteries series is the fact that all of the stories involve real places in and around Washington, DC.

Did somebody say 'research' !?!?

The new book is set in Monticello, Jefferson's plantation, which made this part of the work a big day in the park: not only are there zillions of photos out there of the house and grounds, but Monticello's website is fantastic. There's even a 3-D tour of the house and rooms, which let me do different sketches of the same room from different points of view.
