At last!! I am finally able to share some of the images from the Japanese and the Mexican folktales that I illustrated for Heinemann Educational Publishers. I have included a couple here...but if you go to my portfolio, you will see more and be able to click on them to see them larger. I am very proud of the work I did on them and the client was thrilled.

I am desperate for input and feedback. Paris Ballad, the 350 page graphic novel I am working on (and have already completed over 90 pages in a greyscale pencil style, I have been considering re-doing by inking and adding red and blue overlays as well. I'd love feedback as to what people prefer. I dread re-doing all 90 pages and the greyscale would be cheaper to print, however the colour might be more interesting visually. Please help me decide. If you don't think it makes that much of a difference, I'd like to know that, too! In the color version I have made some editing changes so far as well, so they aren't identical...but still, you get the idea.
