Trout, Trout, Trout! (Perch Page) Reference

I had to begin the entire book first by getting as much reference material on all the fish, etc. that would appear on the pages. In this case, there was the matter of even getting a damselfly as accurately as possible. I loved the concept of splitting a shot with air above and water below, or a view as if we were right in the water, and this was a chance to try it.

    About Me

    I was drawn to advertising long before I illustrated. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I first worked as an Art Director with ad agencies Leo Burnett, Chicago, and with Saatchi & Saatchi, New York. But working with and hiring all my favorite illustrators through the help of being an Art Director gave me an intoxicating look into their side of the business. I have loved illustrating a number of children's books including Gopher Up Your Sleeve, written by Tony Johnston, Trout, Trout, Trout! (A Fish Chant), Ant, Ant, Ant! (The Insect Chant), both written by April Pulley Sayre, and the recent 16-book series, Rotten School, written by R. L. Stine. I've also helped develop characters and animate commercials for AT&T, PBS, Nickelodeon, Zoloft, McDonald's, California State Fair, Blue Sky Studios (on character design for some features in development), and ironically back with Leo Burnett (my first ad agency) on their new animated campaign for McDonald's.
