Here's a children's book I just completed. Written by Jim Gurnett, the story takes place at Edmonton's Heritage Days Festival. I had a lot of fun coloring and creating the characters. Here are a few samples.

Jean Charlot

I had the opportunity to visit the Jean Charlot Collection at the University of Hawaii . I highly recommend a visit if you're ever in Hawaii. It is a huge collection and always inspirational. Charlot was a french painter and illustrator who did it all when it came to exploring different techniques in his art. He also illustrated many childrens books. He spent a portion of his life in Mexico and participated in the founding of Mexican Muralism until settling in Hawaii teaching art at the universitiy. Being hispanic, I have much respect for his interest and knowledge of Hispanic and Indian cultures.

Of the favorite books to look at in the collection, it has to be a book called "Carmen" which he illustrated in the 1930's. The collection has some of the original sketches, original ink drawings, and progressive proofs from this book. Here's some photos.

Here's some safety illustration sketches I've been working on. Nothing about them looks safe, just painful. Especially a big nail in the foot.
