half minute horrors


This picture is for an anthology of short works called 'Half Minute Horrors'. It was put together by Susan Rich, and its got quite the list of people in it. I don't have that list, but I do know that Margaret Atwood, R.L.Stine, Lemony Snickett and Neil Gaiman are all in it. The royalties from the book go to First Book, a not-for-profit organization that brings books to children in need.

This is wonderful. It took me a minute to understand what happened exactly, but then I laughed out loud and startled my wife from her coffee.

All of your artwork is beautiful, but I love the narrative in this one. My next stop is Amazon to order the book.

This is so cool! I was enjoying the illustration itself but upon finally reading the legend got an even bigger creepy feeling (with a laugh) awesome work :)
Also! It was great bumping into you in Ottawa, hope all is well! Cheers!
