This page means a lot to me; it's the linchpin of a story about asking questions: What's out there, who are you? I want to know more.
Stay tuned for more.

Sooo they ran out of croissants?

Did another pass of my campfire sketch.
I replaced the older male (see below) with a more teenage camp counselor.
Much better, more relatable.
I'm really looking forward to finishing the illustration.

Thank you! ❤️

Hi Brian
Thanks for the chance to show you what I’m working on. Below is the next pg of my new book called,From Another Star. Written,illustrated and published by me on my imprint www.twobridgespublishing.com
I’ve released 2 other books so far and really enjoying the process.
Regards
David

some great advice from my picture book art rep, I totally revised my campfire story concept.
In the first illustration I changed the shot angle for a more dramatic effect, and stripped down the details so there’s room for text, makes for a more clearer story.
Enjoy.

It’s tough out there, man!

My goal now is to illustrate new concepts over the winter and refresh my portfolio. This idea is more suitable for YA or middle-grade readers, but it would be good to have in the portfolio.

New sketch idea for the Picture book portfolio.
This will make for a very cool looking final.

I have to constantly freshen up my picture book portfolio, so I'm always coming up with new ideas.
As a young boy, I always loved going on my class trip to the museum.
Doing this as a vector illustration will be a fun challenge.
