Chrissy sent this to get me started thinking on the project.
During our phone coversation, Chrissy referenced this image from the book "Tie Your Socks and Clap Your Feet: Mixed Up Poems" written by Lenny Hort and illustrated by me.
Sketchbook doodle made while on the phone.
First official sketch to be shown to the editors for approval. The flaming pan eyes were Chrissy's idea and right up my alley.
An update for Chrissy to see where I was going.
I chose this knife because the shape of the handle resembles a twisted, angry mouth with the highlights suggesting teeth.
