Developing Quilliam and a Peek into my Sketchbooks

I've been pretty quiet over the last month or so because I've been working to develop Quilliam, a favorite character of mine, into a picture book concept! Here are a couple peeks at his new design. 

I've also added a new section to the site focusing on images from my sketchbooks. Here's two pages of Quilliam character exploration and visual development. I'll be adding more to this page as time goes on, so keep an eye out!  

Quilliam's Fan Ruby

One of Cuddlefish Press's customers, an albino hedgehog named Ruby, sent me this darling selfie she took with one of her own cactuses and with her print of Quilliam. In her email Ruby said that she "wants to have a garden as great as his someday." That means a lot, Ruby. It really means a lot.
