Carlo Is Still Carlo







This is the most beautiful book I had the honor to illustrate. It will always be my favorite because of it's special message. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to work on this project. My employer was hoping for a style similar to Calvin and Hobbes, with lots of colors and emotion. We were both very happy with how it turned out, but it was not my illustrations that made this book beautiful. I am honored to own a copy.

Sworn Enemy by A. Sowards



A.L.Sowards is an amazing author! I was thrilled to work with her to create these maps for her book. I loved the prequel to this book, Espionage, and I highly recommend Sworn Enemy as well! They are both exciting, action-packed spy novels with great characters and story twists! I bet you'll love them; I know I did.

Mystery Busters, The Curse of the Monster's Tooth

This is a great book for young teens and preteens! Parents, if you're looking for a great series to read with your child this is it! The book is full of adventure and imagination, and it's written with language that encourages new vocabulary for its young readers. Books for youth often have a very dark theme and it can be hard to find any that are uplifting. This book has tension and dramatic story elements but it is not dark or depressing--just full of curiosity and excitement. I feel honored to be the illustrator for this series. I enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it. It hits Amazon.com in just a few weeks and if you're looking for a good book, this is it!
