Book: Where The Red Fern Grows
A blizzard keeps Billy and the dogs inside for five days. The first night after it stops, the three race out for a night of hunting and it doesn’t take long for Old Dan to pick up the scent of a river coon. In this part of the story Billy and the dogs are prowling the river bottoms often, from time to time they get outsmarted by a sly raccoon, but they are quickly becoming some of the best hunters in the mountains.

One of the greatest books ever. Your colors, shadows, and angles really reflect the book’s tone. Great work!

Thanks Andrea, that means a lot because I am a big fan of your work. I especially like the great shapes and compositions you’re getting in your ‘Tarzan’ illustrations.
