Children’s Books
Hello world! I may be undertaking a new project soon to illustrate a series of 30 children’s books. They will be very simple, short, educational books for young children, written by my very talented mother (who also happens to be a kindergarden teacher). If it all pans out, the project will be published by Wiley, the same company that published Pampering Your Pooch (for which I was credited as Illustrator).
Although neither project is in the same format or style I’m used to, it’s still illustration work, which I’m always excited about! 
I thought I’d share a list of some of my favorite children’s book illustrators and some examples of their books. I’m dying to hear what illustrators you guys/gals like! I’m always on the look out for unique/interesting books and artists for inspiration…plus I’m a collector! 
Here’s a short list:
Patricia Reeder Eubank - The ABCs of Halloween
Brian Froud - The World of the Dark Crystal , The Goblins of Labyrinth
Tony Diterlizzi - Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide… (The Spiderwick Chronicles)
Gris Grimly - Boris and Bella, Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Madness
Leave a comment with any of your favorite illustrators or illustrated books and I’ll check them out!
