      This is so cute! I love how you mocked it up and did a couple of interiors too. I feel that makes it an even stronger portfolio piece. Love the new design as well! Seems more balanced.

                This is so awesome! Time and again I search for wonderfully simple and effective black and white interior illustrations that augment the page without being the central focal point. It's so hard to find online examples of spot illustration like you've done, as so many artists lean into the splashy full-page look for their portfolio sites. Thank-you so much for sharing those!! They're wonderful!

                      @Coreyartus I love this style too. And, actually, @Lee-White has illustrated a book like this. My daughter has it. It’s called, “I Lived on Butterfly Hill.” It’s a really pretty book. Also Chris Riddell’s illustrated version of “Neverwhere” has cool black and white pencil sketches throughout the whole thing... they are creepy, but I love it. ☺️

                        @carriecopadraws These illos match that magic feeling I had as a kid reading this book. 🙂

                            I really like the new approach to the cover design! Congrats!
                            And with the interior pages makes it so complete.

                              Thanks everyone! I'm motivated to make a couple more covers now. Taking the advice from the recent SVS podcast: "Create the art you want to work on!"

                                Looks set for portfolio, and good idea to have it ready for the 50th anniversary!
