Hello everyone,

I apologize for being away for a while. I've been buried trying to finish a new picture book, the second for me as author and illustrator. It's called "Bedtime for Bear". I'm finally finished. The book will be out next year. Here are a couple of the paintings. Happy New Year.

    Poor Bear needs a lock on his door... :)
    Did you do the lettering for this book as well as the drawings?

    I mean, I know you wrote the text, but did you actually write it in? (Sorry if that's confusing)

    Congratulations on the book! It looks to be an action-packed picture book. Fun! Love your illustrations..and I agree Lizbeth Zwerger is awesome. I just bought her Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales book and it is a treasure. All the best to you in 2010.

    This book looks really fun! I attended your presentation at the Orem library a few years back and also looked up Lisbeth Zwerger after you mentioned her. Her art is Stunning! Big fan of yours Brett, thanks for everything and keep up the excellent work!

    Looks good... It's a shame I don't live in the States, I'd buy the book.

    Also, thanks for your answer... About the BW drawings I figured as much, but I never thought you'd use oils for the color illustrations, just gouache and/or acrylics. Gotta try acrylics now, I haven't used them in years!
