More picture book character experimenting...

Another quick experiment.

Picture book character test

I am attempting to experiment with my style for picture book characters. Here is one of my first attempts...

Zombie Coraline fan art

Since it's nearly halloween I thought I'd take a break from all things cute and squishy and have a go at painting something cute and creepy instead!

Neil Gaiman is my absolute favourite author and I couldn't resist having a go at painting a zombie Coraline...

I might add in a background and possibly even a zombie cat later on ^_^. Happy Halloween!

American Girl Magazine September/October issue

I have also been working with another of American Girl's wonderful Art Directors Paula Riley on American Girl Magazine. It is such a great magazine, it makes me wish I was a young American girl!

I illustrated this fun quiz for their September / October 2012 issue.

American Girl Picture Yourself Here

The latest book I have illustrated is this super fun book for American Girl entitled 'Picture Yourself Here' by Kristi Thom, Art Direction and Design by Gretchen Becker. American Girl are one of my favourite companies to work with and I had so much fun illustrating this book and now using it too! 

Picture Yourself Here is a mixture of punch-out illustrations and scenes to stick your own photo's in. Once you have created all of the silly scenes it makes a lovely book to keep as a fun photo album!

I couldn't resist having a go at putting some of my own photo's into this scene...

Some of the punch-outs.

A sneaky peek at some of the spreads...

It is available to buy from American Girl's website here or from Amazon here.
