I was told last minute it would also make the cover, this would be my 2nd magazine cover, so that was nice.  

Also check out A Boat Called UP written by Anne-Ina Mitchell Illustrated by Katarina Gasko, really stylized charming artwork.

My First Magazine Cover

My first cover ever for anything!  The magazine publication, REAL, The Canadian Kid's Magazine.  Volume 7, Spring 2011, in this issue, I illustrated a classic story written, adapted and retold by Ken White, a Scottish poet, academic and writer, originally from his book, True Stories of the Top End, entitled Old Ma Hawkes and the Frog / The Revenge of Old Ma Hawkes.

The Aborigine tracker's shock and awe, re:  Arthur Rackham's Alice in Wonderland.

Jane and May can play all day. They can play a game or
make up a parade. They can look at the snail on the pail or
jump in the hay. They can run this way and that way until their

in the shade. Jane and May can play all day.

Joe drove to the seashore. His whole family rode the waves.

Sue was born in June. She needed a party. Sue made cards
with glue. She used the vacuum to clean up. She asked Uma
for help. Sue played a tune on the flute and Uma played a tune
on the ukulele. The girls were cute. The kids were not rude. The
kids clapped and clapped. Happy Birthday Sue!
