“It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk” One of my Favorite Pages.
“It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk” is out now!!! Written by Josh Funk and illustrated by yours truly. One of my favorite spreads from the book was the title page. I wanted to establish right from the beginning Jack and Bessie’s friendship and to show them in a moment together before the story began. If you look really closely, you can see the silhouette of the Giant’s castle in the cloud shadows created by the moonlight. Also, there is a hidden fairy tale character in this spread. Probably the hardest one to find.
If you have not already purchased “It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk”, its available now at your local bookstore. Or you can purchase it on Amazon at this link http://a.co/fFFuB3d
And because “It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk” was so well received before it debut . . .

The Gingerbread Man Meets His Fate
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
This weeks Colour Collective was Blue Bell. Decided to explore one of my favorite childhood stories of “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.” I still remember in kindergarten we had our big school play. One of the stories was the 3BGG. I really wanted to be one of the goats. I did so well in the auditions, I got the lead roll in another play as the Gingerbread Boy. Still to this day, I remember how much I wanted to be a goat lol
Owl and the Pussycat
The Magical Mini Puddle Whale
This illustration was for Colour Collective color Air Force Blue. I recently had a dream about a mini magical whale that lived in a puddle/ pond in the forest near my house. It must of been a funny whale cause I was told I was laughing in my sleep when I was dreaming about my new friend. I really want to focus on making original content, so my new mini whale friend might make future appearances.
Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” Book Cover Design
For this years Holiday Campaign with my agency The Bright Group, they asked a few of us to come up with an illustration or book cover design for the classic Christmas ghost story
Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Ive always love ghost stories, so I was excited to do my piece for the campaign.
