“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

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
