this is the first in a series of chapter books by @amytimberlake that i'm illustrating. @FuseEight has an interview with Amy up today and @cbcbooks has an excerpt you can read! out Sept of this year!
here are two interiors also. We get to do that neat thing where there are b&w chapter illustrations but also a few color ones on heavier paper ?
Algonquin Books is doing a pre-order campaign for the Skunk and Badger book! Submit a receipt and you get a print of an interior illustration a bookplate signed by @amytimberlake & me, & other stuff! details! https://t.co/T273KwR1uH
drew some skull stuff last year & just made a folder for them.
it's so crazy that Lotte Reiniger made a feature-length film that looked like this 10 years before Disney made anything that long

that ghost table drawing led to this little story, again pretty old now, but it's actually an idea I had in third grade. I've been trying to expand it into a book but it's tough to expand without ruining it - it makes me kind of emotional just the way it is.
"Ghost Goes In The Door" (an oldie now but still a goodie imo)
got reminded of this old one just now - I think most of my affection for it still comes from the pun on "legend". Happy almost Halloween you guys.
