I’ve worked on this book for a long time, and I’m particularly proud of it. One of the wonderful things about making a picture book is the ability to get a whole story out there with a manageable work load.

So I am running a bit late with getting my picture book on sale. I’ve printed two copies and I’m still adjusting a few things. So I’ll have it up for sale soon- hopefully within two weeks.

On the left is the cover design. Contrary to what you may think, the cover is probably a fairly good way to judge a picture book.

I don’t have much time to write, but I am working on illustrations for a book called “Asking the Right Questions”. (I’ve mentioned it before). It is a very exciting project, so I am thrilled to show the first finished panel.

Thoughts? Comments?

In the coming semester I will be working on a series of illustrations/cartoons possibly appearing in the next version of a book called Asking the Right Questions. It is quite an interesting book- written by one of my professors: Dr. M. Neil Browne.

The following sketches are based on subject matter within the book.

1) Sponge Learning vs. Panning for Gold Learning

2) Teaching with Questions

3) Critical Thinking Etiquette

4) Attitude toward debate: Winning Vs. Furthering Understanding

5) Descriptive Arguments and Prescriptive Arguments

What are your impressions? Feel free to give me any feedback, ideas/changes etc…
