Very Hairy Bear Arrives!


Since I can't seem to update my main website for some reason, I thought I'd plug my latest book here on the Planet Ham: Very Hairy Bear by Alice Schertle (Harcourt)! It's my first book using pastel and pencil instead of ink and watercolor. Available now at finer book emporiums.

Above is a sketch for my initial cover idea.

UPDATE: You can now read a Very Nice Review over at Seven Imp!

Rosa Cover


Here's my first proposal for what became the cover for Rosa Farm. I really like the one or two color look of older books and I occasionally try to pitch that approach to publishers. It hasn't gone over yet, but I'll keep trying.
