Lonelier then a Trucker on a Midnight Run…

Here’s a tiny piece from one of the new illustrations. It’s from a scene near the end of the story, when Gwango finally reaches the end of the lonely trail. He’s alone, he’s dejected-- he’s the loneliest prehistoric reptile this side of the Rio Grand!

I also wanted to announce the start of a fantastic new blog! The amazing work of Cal Arts Character Animation graduate Jesus Chambrot can be seen HERE!

    Very nice.

    I like the little bits of moss
    on the powerlines- it really adds
    to the mood. Looks like a great story.

  3. Gwango's expression of desperation would put a tear in my eye if I were the crying type. But I'm not! (I hope things turn out alright for this poor dinosaur. I think I've got a little something in my eye...)

  7. Justin! Sheesh! This is my favorite of yours yet. You and Josh are starting to make me sick with your talents (and that's a good thing).

  11. Coming along very nicely. You have the sweetness for a kids book and (refreshingly) the skillz to make it look good.

  13. OK, officially a fan now. Dinosaurs rock (I did a kids book a few years back that went gangbusters, DINOSAURS AFTER DARK) and any book that namechecks(ish) Gwangi is a winner in my eyes.

    So where do I buy this artwork? ;-)
