This has been a bit of a crazy weekend, but overall it was rewarding. I just finished a 6 page spread for Underneath the Juniper Tree.If you’ve not read the totally scary, creatively amazing new breed of children’s publication then i encourage you to get a proverbial pencil and stab your eye or simply click the link above.
The image above is a small capture of one of the spreads. Picturing a mesmerized boy (or maybe he just has no clue what’s coming next!). The this is about 1/5th the actual picture and as you can see there’s lots of little dots and details. It’s not my usual pen/paper technique but all digital illustration while using a very basic sketch. The eyes are from real human eyes so it adds a unique subtle touch to the picture.

Very eerie atmosphere, especially with these eyes! Great work.
Glad you caught the eyes. It was subtle touch. I can’t wait to see it published next month!
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Ken! I just saw the new issue of UNTJT, and I am so completely blown away by the artwork you did for my short story! I was expecting maybe one stock photo at best, not 4 gorgeous, custom pieces that capture the best parts of my story! Thank you so much for your attention to detail and obvious time and energy. I absolutely LOVE your art. All the best to you,
Annie Neugebauer
