What's Wrong? of the year for 2011!


Great news! I won the Highlights for Children Silver Plate award for What's Wrong? Illustration of the year for 2011! A special thank you to everyone at Highlights for this great honor. You really know how to make your illustrators feel appreciated by all of the wonderful things you do for us. Thank you.

The illustration was for Highlights' 65th Anniversary issue and featured many of the Highlights' characters. More info about the piece can be found here

What's Wrong, Highlights? You're only 65 years old!


I was given the fun task of creating the What's Wrong? illustration for Highlights' 65th Birthday issue! It was a lot of fun to have my hand at the Highlights' regulars: the Timbertoes, Arizona (as well as her little brother and sister Tex and Indi), Goofus and Gallant, the little mouse web dude (does he have a name? he definitely needs one), and the Bear Family. The 65th Birthday issue should be on news stands now. It really is a great issue with a lot of fun surprises. Be sure to pick up a copy!

My apologies for being so long between posts. My wife has been traveling a lot for work so I have had my hands full taking care of our daughter, dog, fish, house, laundry, dishes, etc, all the while teaching and freelancing. This week I officially finished teaching (until autumn that is) so I will have more time to post stuff I have been working on. Speaking of our daughter, you can see her and I on the left side of the illustration. I made myself taller so no one would notice me but it didn't fool anyone at Highlights. I think they're on to me...
