My fairy tale illustration project was recently sidetracked as a result of a book contract that I recently received entitled “Jasper Finds a New Home”. Jasper is a warty little toad whose home is ruined during an oil spill. He and his new friends need to learn what oil is, seek help and find a new place to live. I thought I’d give you all a little sneak peek into my sketches for the book dummy and introduce you to Jasper and a few of his friends! (“Jasper Finds a New Home” is scheduled to be published Winter 2012 by Folded Leaves Publishing)
