Holy Bajesus and Crazy Plum Sauce!!! Amazing stuff, really REALLY enjoying the third versions of the characters, extremely appealing and pushed designs. Also, I LOVE the Approved versions of Both Covers A TON!!! Keep up with this brand of Awesome Sauce!!!

Damn man... your stuff looks awesome. Keep up with the updates!

Seems like Harper Collins is easy to work with... I wish all the publishers I worked with were easy to work with.

they're pretty easy to work with although the preliminary work is pretty insane.

i think its the fact i have a week before both covers are due and they're still asking for sketches and touch ups.

The last kids book I worked on was ALL done and at the last minute they wanted me to change the ethnicity of the main character and my head about exploded...

I wish you the best of luck with this.... I'd LOVE to read these books!

How'd you hook up with Harper Collins?

[kingocean]

the art director of the childrens department just emailed me and offered the gig. apparently he found my site through another artists link. pretty much destiny i suppose.

what other comapanies have you worked for and how'd yu hook up with them?

If you liked the SECRET OF NIMH cartoon (Bluth rocks) you should read the book.
The best book I've read this year. The story worked much better.
