upcoming books

I have two new books coming out this fall from Harper Collins.
The first is a picture book adaptation of “a Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.
I’m excited about this one, it’s a favorite of mine.

I am also currently working on a new book by Neil Gaiman.

  2. I love this picture! A Christmas Carol is one of my favorites too. I especially like the Alister Sim film version, which this picture reminds me of.

  4. I Got To Know Your Work Through The Series Of unfortunate events, and even now after four years I still am fascinated by your work. It Has a simplistic nature that sometimes i find myself drawing. I Have to say that your illustrations made the series of unfortunate events alive. I'm also still wondering if you have another website with more of your illustrations. Have A good day.
