WHIT'S MATCHING SHOES

Be careful what you wish for.

When Whit wishes her feet would fit her new and too-big dancing shoes, she gets a pair of too-big feet.

Like Hay Hay's Dog Has Her Day-Day, this book was made "Alla Prima," which is art lingo for "in one sitting."

I wanted to capture the energy and spirit of a first sketch in the final illustration, so "Whit" was drawn in ink direct to the page. No layout. No rough draft. No sketches. No makeovers.

It was an experiment. I hope you think it worked.
