This is one of many pen and ink illustrations for "One April in Boston" by Ben Edwards and published by Spyglass Books. This is Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts as it was first built in the 18th century before it was expanded and enlarged.
Faneuil Hall		This is one of many pen and ink illustrations created for "A Little Princess" the 1905 children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett and published specially by Hallmark Gift Books and Greenwich Workshop.
A Little Princess		The center spread illustration from David Morrell's wistful story, "The Hundred-Year Christmas" from Overlook Connection Press. This is of course, Santa's workshop, and the elves are readying the reindeer for their yearly round-the-world excursion.
100-Year Christmas - Center Spread		An illustration from David Morrell's wistful story, "The Hundred-Year Christmas" from Overlook Connection Press. Santa's looking worried as the hourglass on the table runs out. It's not a common hourglass though and if it's not turned over in time, dire consequences can be expected.
The Hourglass
David Morrell's wistful story, "The Hundred-Year Christmas" was a deeply satisfying and also an intensive project. All aspects of the book were open for my design... the foil-stamped slipcase, cover design, eleven full color illustrations and endpapers and the decorative page frames. It's still available from Overlook Connection Press in various signed and limited editions.
The Hundred-Year Christmas		This is the cover painting for "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, published by Greenwich Workshop and Hallmark. My model for this was a little girl just leaving for karate class so she posed with her karate gi at her front door. The art reproduced as a tiny 2 5/8 inch color print mounted into a velvet embossed cover.
