Let the illustrations... begin!

Thanks are definitely in order.

After sending a call out to for an illustrator, I had four fabulous people interested. Two were people who found me in the Twitterverse and two were awesome people I already had in my life. It was a tough decision in many ways and I really want to thank each of them for being interested. Every single one of them are talented and super to deal with!

Rough sketch, my ass. Look at the detailed coloration!

In the end, I made my decision based on the drawing I thought best suited the story. As it turns out, that person is one of the creative geniuses that are already in my life. The ironic thing is that I knew this guy was talented, but I had no clue just HOW talented. I am absolutely in awe of the work he put into his "rough sketch". ------------->

Don't you agree?

(No, you can't have him. I'm going to keep him busy, dammit!) HA!

Well, okay... that was rude of me. If you seriously wanted to chat with him... I can make a list.

Get you in contact. Drop a name. :)

At the moment, he's not taking any additional work, but as soon as he is: you can be the first to know.

At any rate... I want to thank each of the artists who submitted, again. You are all freakin' awesome.

Special thanks to my new evil illustrator mastermind.

May your wife not mind me monopolizing your artistic time. ;)

Calling all artists!

Gettin' artsy with it

So... this may seem a bit out of the blue.

I need an illustrator.

Someone who's interested in doing art for a children's story I wrote last year, but put on the back burner because Pendomus took over my brain. Don't get me wrong... Pendomus is still calling, but my mental focus is still lacking.

Here's what happened: This cool book, "Go the F**k to Sleep" came out and it reminded me of this darling little thing I wrote last summer, called the Roar War. (Though there is no swearing. Drat!)

As I've said before, I fancy myself wonder woman. The universe, however, fancies me human. Pfft. Psh. {snort}

I come from a family of artists and always felt I could easily do the illustrations for this myself. BUT... I never have. (Obviously! Derka, derka Carissa!) I was on to bigger and better things. However, a new opportunity presented itself to me in the form of an "AHA!" moment.

I could totally collaborate with one of you amazing people! How freakin' awesome would that be!? Since I wasn't on twitter much before March of this year, this option wasn't even... well, an option. HA!

If you're interested, hit me up in the comments section here or DM me on Twitter.

We can work something out based on responses. Obviously, I'd like to see a sample of your work to see if you'd be meshy with my kind of crazy.

Let's do this thing!
