I built this guy out of cardboard and painted him up all pretty with acrylic paints. He's actually a box for my wife's valentines (5th grade party tomorrow.) They go in the mouth.
And then I liked him so much that I decided to come up with a simple story. And then another.
It may sound funny but I would love to illustrate a book this way. Though if I were to really go for it I would need to learn how to take a decent photograph (these look much better in person.)
(Also, I'm sorry about the lack of decent cardboard backgrounds. These are just sketches after all.)
