I got an anonymous question asking: “Do you illustrate for books, like children’s books?”

I do! I’ve done some textbook illustrations, some cover illustrations (for non-kid’s books) and I illustrated a kid’s activity book for Amtrak last year. I’d love to work on more kid’s or YA books!

Above is a selection of some of the pages from the 32 page activity book. I illustrated every page and hand-lettered all the titles & cover! (the text is missing from the pages in these images, so if there’s a weird blank spot, that’s where the copy would go!)

There was a print run of 150,000, and the books were available on all the Amtrak trains, though I think they may be sold out now. Last year I put up a big post with a bunch more images, explanation, and sketches, on my blog, and now the whole book is available for free download from Amtrak! (click on the “Learning Zone” to find it!)
