Sleepytime Animals

Exploring a New World

This was my entry for the poster contest at this past weekend's NESCBWI conference, and I was psyched to get second place in the "Published" category. (Check out Russ Cox's first-place poster. Wow!) I had a great time and met lots of wonderful people. Thanks, everyone!

Check out Casey Girard's Octo-Pus in Boots sketchbook which I doodled in at the conference, alongside an all-star cast!

Cowboy Vs. Giraffe

This guy is very proud of his new sweater.

So make sure you say something nice about it. Maybe you could mention the intricate , kaleidoscopic weave? Or the poignancy of seeing the African savanna at night depicted on a man's belly. I don't know.
