Here are two pieces of final art from another book I'm finishing up at the moment, "Brothers" written by Sarah Wilson. Sarah has written a very sweet rhyming text about the fun of being brothers throughout the seasons of the year. The book will be published by Henry Holt in spring, 2008, I think (I've had this one on my desk for a long time). The good folks at Holt have been amazingly patient with me on this one. I've illustrated my fair share of books now, and I still can't get past the sheer terror of the final art stage. I seem to lose all confidence in choosing colors, painting ability, etc. It's always satisfying when it's finished, but the process is always a rough one for me. Some illustrators can't wait to get that final go-ahead and dive right into their painting -- I wish I could just work on my little sketch dummies forever!
