VAMPIRINA BALLERINA



So here's a sneak peek at one of my books coming out next year! It's about.... (drumroll here) a VAMPIRE BALLERINA!!! No, I'm not going the way of Twilight. Yet. This one's a really cute how-to manual for becoming a ballerina if you happen to be of the bloodsucking variety. I won't say too much here, other than this book was a blast to do! Here are a few sample pieces:


Oh yeah, and one last poster, too late for halloween...

In case you'd ever like me for a mentor...


... if you'd ever want a mental person for a mentor that is! Anyway, I've been invited to participate in an online mentorship program, available to anybody who might want to spend one-on-one time with me online. It's a ten-week course, in which i'd skype/email/telephone or whatever with a person, to give them guidance on their work, critiques on their pieces, whatever tickles their fancy. The program is called the Motivarti Mentorship Program, and information is below. I'm only taking on one mentee, and the session starts in the spring, so deadline for that session is December 18th. Here's the link:

I am apparently the only children's book illustrator on the list, everyone else is in animation. So, if any of you are interested in a career in animation, check out the others on the list too!
