The building of picture books...

My good friend Jennifer Black Reinhardt writes for a blog that celebrates picture books. She included a nice interview about "My Wilderness". I am grateful so many enjoyed learning about scratchboard and the research behind this latest project. Here's the link to the story, and to a very inspirational blog!

Big news from the studio! A short demonstration video has been produced, giving you a glimpse of my process at the drawing board. I'll post it permanently later on the side later, but for now...

Thank you Charlie, father-in-law extraordinaire, for perfect lighting, all around camera and production expertise and shared enthusiasm for art and birds, angry or otherwise. Please visit his website of stunning photography. www.charlesmcgehee.com
