  2. Cool! Will this be for another author's work or for a manuscript of your own?

  4. Hi Mr. Helquist, I love all your work, and your illustrations for "A series of unfortunate events" is beautiful. Can I ask what you used for your illustrations? Was it watercolor & ink? Are you appearing at any upcoming events? Thank you so much

    1. The interior drawings for "the Unfortunate Events" are graphite pencil drawings. The covers are painted in acrylic and oil on paper. Thanks.
