CHAOS IN THE CAFETERIA

Mice. Screaming, crying kids. Food fights. Just your typical day at school. A few pages from a reader I illustrated for Random House a couple of years ago.  You can purchase it here.  A 48-pager with illustrations on every page.  It was so much fun drawing crazed children.... I must do some more.

DEAD MAN'S FINGERS

... and other seasonal treats. Autumn. My favorite time of year; it's beautiful and silly AND frightening. It took a bit of tweaking here and there, but I was able to mold some of the recent assignments into postcard dimensions. And speaking of mold, the girl in the background of this one is examining a fungus called Xylaria polymorpha, better known as "Dead Man's Fingers." These were all originally created for Ranger Rick magazine.   I should get the cards this week! Then  the mailing begins. And speaking of dead, I hope the post office isn't yet.


dead man's fingers are gonna grab your pant leg!
