Food for Thought



Well I finally mustard up some courage to post these pages I did for a children's magazine out in New Zealand. It's a play about a group of kids making the transition from junk food to real food. Cheers!

With your permission, I'm going to write a few words in spanish, I hope you can find anybody to translate it to you:

Tu trabajo es excelente, tu dibujo raya la perfección y dominas tantas técnicas que da miedo. La variedad de estilos es sorprendente, y todos buenos.
Tu trabajo sirve de estimulo para muchos, estoy seguro.
Si algún dia voy a New York te vendré a ver, quiero que me expliques el truco!
Gracias por compartir tu trabajo con nosotros.

Hi Roger:
Um OK I only know a few words in Spanish but thanks for your comment. I will have to get back to you on this;)

Thanks Tomas!
Basically I received the script and character descriptions. They wanted me to create these illustrations based off the story. The art direction was very simple to follow. Once I got approval of my pencils, I dove in and inked them and colored them up in Photo Shop. It all basically happens in a school as far as locations are concerned.
