Illustration Friday - Leap



This is an illo from a picture book that I recently illustrated entitled "On a Dark, Dark Night" by Jean Marie Cochran. I thought it was appropriate for this week's topic although the pooch is a little too chubby to leap. The book won't be available until later this year but I think I can give just this little peek.

Fantastic work...

I used to do that when I was scared that something might grab me from under the bed. Still do!

Bed is indeed the safest place there is! Anytime I get a little nervous or creeped out, I always feel better under the covers! Great illustration!
