I just finished the artwork for my latest picturebook, commissioned by The Littlest Golfer, and featuring their characters Putter and Sandy. When I was first introduced to The Littlest Golfer via Nicole Weller, who sent my daughter the most adorable set of real toddler golf clubs, I immediately thought, "Wow...those turtles in the logo are so cute! They would make great picture book characters...." I was so excited when the opportunity came about to work with The Littlest Golfer to illustrate their upcoming children's book. I really enjoyed interpreting Putter and Sandy in my own style and bringing them to life. I really wanted to express the fun that the turtles have on the golf course, and to capture the way that young children learn and approach new experiences...with a mixture of some silliness, some mistakes and enthusiam! Here is one of my favorite spreads from the book. I'll post the release date as soon as I know it!
