Kid lit art is hard!!
I have this very easy way of taking something and making it about 5 times harder than it needs to be. And then I'm a perfectionist on top of that! So here I am still working on the new book when I can but the problem is that I saved all the full 2 page spreads of artwork and saved them to the end of my to-do pile. Don't get me wrong, I love the way the artwork is turning out. But did I really have to put this much detail into the pages? Probably not. I'll let you be the judge...
I'm over 3/4 of the way done on Cora and the Moon and Casey and I are still contemplating launching a new Kickstarter this year even before I'm officially done with the art. I mean, why not? When I Grow Up was a pretty big success so we are thinking about doing this all over again. Are we crazy? Possibly. Trying to find a publisher hasn't been the easiest task so that's why we're self publishing our own destiny. The only way to go is up!
So enjoy these two new pieces of artwork and stay tuned for even more. I took them on my phone so art is not final at all.
