The Diva in Overalls!

This little girl has sort of become one of my identity pieces.

She was done very quickly as a sample piece.

Although she wasn't chosen by the cleint,

I loved her. I love the diva in overalls!

Soapy Scientists!

Cover image for Preschool book entitled 

"Soapy Scientists!"

The following are interior pages.

Gravity!

This is a cover for a pre-school lesson book

that explains the concept of gravity. 

The interior tells a story with characters that 

can be punched out for bulletin board purposes.

The girl, the dog and the tree were all isolated inside for punch out.

*The client liked the characters used in this project so well that they 

wanted them in another book called "Soapy Scientists!"

Let's go to the Circus!

This project was to create a book of circus characters for a story with characters
