SCBWI Profile

I've recently joined the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). I've created a profile on the SCBWI website and you can check it out here.

Beetles!

Check out the new look for my illustration website. I've also added a children's book illustration tab to the menu. Enjoy!

"Chicken Licken" Illustration

This year I was excited to participate in the Tomie dePaola Illustrator Award Competition. The assigned text to illustrate (see below) is an excerpt from the story “Chicken Licken” by P.C. Asbjörnsen.

So they went along and went along until they met Turkey Lurkey
“Good morning, Goosey Loosey, Ducky Daddles, Cocky Locky, Henny Penny,
and Chicken Licken,” said Turkey Lurkey, “where are you going?”
“Oh, Turkey Lurkey, the sky is falling and we are going to tell the King!”
“How do you know the sky is falling?” asked Turkey Lurkey.
“Ducky Daddles told me,” said Goosey Loosey.
“Cocky Locky told me,” said Ducky Daddles.
“Henny Penny told me,” said Cocky Locky.
“Chicken Licken told me,” said Henny Penny
“I saw it with my own eyes, I heard it with my own ears,
and a piece of it fell on my tail!” said Chicken Licken.
“Then I will go with you,” said Turkey Lurkey, “and we will tell the King!”

It was both challenging and fun to participate in this competition!
