A super-sized little illustration

 

I received a VERY large envelope in the mail last week from the nice folks at Highlights. It's a poster about  writing that will be appearing in libraries and schools this summer. It's really, really big - much bigger than my 22" monitor. It started out as just a spot drawing, but they liked it so much they decided to turn it into a poster.

With a little digital magic I adjusted the dpi and sizes, so that a larger drawing would work at poster size. It's the largest illustration I've ever had published.

I was very pleased with how it turned out.  I tried out a new technique of isolating some of the images as layers with shadows, so it looks kind of like a collage.

It's fun having such a big illustration printed.  It's awesome to think it will be seen by thousands of people in schools and libraries.
