I am very excited about the latest illustrated book I did with Katherine and John Paterson. It's not often that you get to illustrate a book for the National Ambassador of Children's Literature. I ended up doing about 60 paintings for this book. I am happy to say that it has received starred reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal and Publishers Weekly. . It goes on sale September 27.
Also, another middle grade novel I have illustrated, The Hunter Chronicles: Return to Exile, will hit stores on September 5. There is a website for the book. If you like Rick Riordan or Eoin Colfer, you will like E.J. Patten. He has written a really fun, scary book about teenage kids who fight incredible inventive monsters with weapons that they make from garbage.
There is also a very nice interview I did over at 7imps which has a ton of never before seen artwork and detailed discussions about my process. and my daughter Alaya wanted to type something too. Here it is:

I love your designs. They are wonderful. I'm from Brazil and have a question. I'm writing and would like to know if you have any chance of having a cover made for you. I will be grateful if you can do it for me, your drawings are perfect!
So much beautiful work!
