Very nice, I hope you take this as a compliment but it looks like a great cover for a childrens book, you just need a story to go with it. (Perhaps the writers could help ?)
I was amazed that Craig said that. Craig – I sure do take that as a compliment – my ambition is to be a book illustrator, even though I am now 57 (it’s never too late to learn). Years ago, someone used a few of my local scenic pen and inks in a magazine (a small local one) and it made me wish I could illustrate books. Last week, an American friend of ours said that after seeing my Mao painting she’d like me to illustrate a book she is writing. I haven’t decided yet, as it seems a big thing to take on, but Craig has given me much food for thought …
Go for it! I’d love to illustrate books and would jump at the chance :) Having said that I guess there would be a lot to take into consideration but it’s still wonderful and I think you well deserve having being asked, your illustrations are perfect for it.

It’s just a project between friends and i don’t know if it will get anywhere, but it’s all experience, isn’t it.
Very lovely. I’m looking for your graffiti shots…
This is a really neat picture!
great style, spirit cat looking to the heavens or bad moggy watching yummy bird. Colours are great.
Very nice work. I agree with the other commenters…I can see this on a cover of a children’s book as well.
