Dragon's Eggs for Thanksgiving


Well, I just finished the final painting for the cover of the YA novel, "Dragon's Egg", written by Sarah L. Thomson. I am happy with the final result. Not much changed from the sketch, except for the hairstyle of the boy. (a bit more contemporary here.) I also went to the "Original Art" show at the Society of Illustrators. There were lots of surprises, and some very beautiful children's book illustrations. I was introduced to Jerry Pinkney and Mo Willems, as well as running into my former teacher from RISD. As you may know the 10 best illustrated books from New York Times review came out. Lane Smith's "John, Paul, George and Ben" made the list which was nice to see.
Have a happy Turkey Day!
