Yes!!! Love seeing fellow Coloradan, Z.B. Asterplume, as the featured illustrator. It's the best seeing others succeed in your SCBWI region after such hard work!

What a great cover! It builds intrigue all with a great composition and storytelling—and I'm a sucker for great lettering/typography.

I recently saw a Maurice Sendak original that had three separate drawings–all needing to line up for print. Lightboxes were a necessity, but still!

These two color illustrations are amazing! And the fact that the illustrators usually had to provide the plate separations for the printer is mind-boggling!

You're out here doing the Lord's work—educating us all in mid-century art. There were true masters who most people don't know about.

A boy starts to go trick-or-treating, but his parents want him prepared for the elements.
Lots of comedy and real parent/kid dynamics.
And the art is incredible!
