Art for a children's book I never finished called Goodnight Gnu.
My then 2 year old son Brendan would say Goodnight Gnu because it sounded funny. So I started to write a children's book about a stuffed Gnu toy that couldn't fall asleep.
He would toss and turn all night and would keep the little boy awake.

Anyways. Here's some of the little illustrations I did of it.
Maybe I'll finish it one day.

Colored pencils on bristol board.
Done in 2005

Very nice, the designs really make this work. I can easily see this as a children's book.
