Book Cover Art

Our latest cover art for a children's book, Still There, Clare, has been published--another collaboration with Tannice Goddard, who does the graphic design and layout. Preparing myself to create the illustrations for this cover, I wanted to:

Enter the world of almost-13-year-old Clare and her best friend Elsa. Clare and Elsa are opposites: Clare’s idea of style is a Superman T-shirt and torn jeans, while Elsa sports outfits with matching accessories. Clare is a long-distance runner who can’t always find the right words, while Elsa walks slowly but talks fast. Clare’s sense of humour is dark and ironic, Elsa’s is bright and witty. But the most unusual thing about Clare and Elsa is the fact that Elsa is imaginary.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and a creating the visual images for the cover.
