I just sent out the final revised artwork for "The Adventures of Nanny Piggins" this morning and I am totally pleased with the results.
This is not the final look of the book jacket but it's nice to share none the less...
The author, the lovely Ms. R.A. Spratt, lives in Australia and she was sweet enough to send me the original Australian versions. Yay! I can't wait to read the second one!
NOTE: See my new chalkboard wall? (more on that later)
Lisa Yee and I had a fun launch party at Vroman's over the weekend...
I'm apparently doing my horrible impression of Gilbert Godfried and Lisa is showing off her 'spirit fingers'. Amy Goldman Koss is on the right in disgust of our shameless ability to self promote. The event was fun. About 100 people showed up and ate all of our doughnuts. Those of you in the LA area who didn't show up to the signing were punished by witnessing the Phillies deliver an 11-0 beating to our beloved Dodgers. (Next time you'll all know to come won't you?)
I also gave away an enormous drawing to a sweet gal (the prize was determined by who travelled the farthest to come to our signing. Her grandmother was from Palo Alto)
Tomorrow I leave for the east coast (one of my favorite places outside of my studio) but not before speaking to the students at the Rhode Island School of Design..
So exciting! I can't wait to... Wha? HEY!!!!!! WHAT THE?!
