About a year ago, a friend came to me and wanted me to illustrate a story that her roommate wrote. While hesitant to draw something without the author’s involvement (it was a surprise birthday present), I agreed to draw the first page.
It came out really good and I really enjoyed doing it. I started going into the children sections of bookstore (i felt really creepy without a kid in tow…) and when I went to my parent’s house, I started digging through all my old picture books.
So now I’ve got this idea, and my former roommate and his writing partner are helping me develop it and we’ll see what happens….
