This is an illustration for the book, "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus", by L. Frank Baum. This is the same author who wrote "The Wizard of Oz". The book is full of fantasy imagery, and the story is interesting. I thought it fit well w/ the style I've been developing. I've become very interested in "Golden Age" childrens illustrators like Edmund Dulac and Arthur Rackham. I think this piece reflects that, but I hope it has a flare all it's own. This is a self-promotional piece.
I'm a children's book Illustrator with a heavy interest in fairy and folk tales. I love old books, especially children's books. Children's book illustrating is what I wanted to do as long as I can remember and am trying to get my stuff out there. This blog is basically devoted to showing my art work, so don't worry, I won't be giving many opinions or the contents of my day. Enjoy.
