The Mice and The Apple
One of several images for my second picture book…..the story is comical and engages children to participate…which is something that was really important to me when i wrote this book…I wanted kids to get excited and shout out when they new the part….. I just finished the manuscript for this book a few days ago….phew :) I started this book in January….inspiration was from my “The mice and the cupcake” ....my youngest was iffy of the shadow mice so I started sketching mice and try my hand at illustrator (still learning :) ) ......I have 6 images so far …i am aiming for 26…..still not sure if I am 100% happy with the mice…I am going for not to much detail…interesting to look at….but simple…tons of texture and color….in this image there are photographs and illustrations created in illustrator and sketches worked through photoshop…...over 100 layers close to 800meg….
btw….Lilliput is still in New york…..I try not to think to much about it…i have no nails left :)...i am hoping that soon i will hear something….

Love it.
I like the Mice, perhaps their eyes look a bit funny, this is only my opinion, and take in mind I can’t use illustrator for the life of me or any one else for that matter but all in all I really think you have done a good job. I like the what you have done with the sky

Thank you very much Jason …i really appreciate the feedback :)....it is amazing what illustrator can do….i just have to figure it out…i’ve been so use to photoshop and creating actions that i have been lazy in the department of patience with myself and that it will take time to learn :)
