I had the honor to work with my local library, the
AADL, to design and illustrate their summer reading games program. I'm a big fan of theirs. Ever since I moved to Ann Arbor 2 years ago, I had attended tons of interesting workshops and forums at the library. Not to mention, I gave my very own talk there. Check it out
here.
And when they asked if I could do a Richard Scarry like town with many characters using the library in different ways- of course I'm on board! I initially did people:
And when I found out they were more interested in anthropomorphic animals- even better!
The final in color:
And speaking of libraries and anthropomorphic animals- I'm teaching a workshop! Its called
Creating and Drawing Anthropomorphic Animals Characters with Jannie Ho. Its on Saturday, July 16th from 1to 2:30pm, at the Downtown Ann Arbor District Library. Its free for teens and adults to attend, so if you are in the area, hope to see you there.

So cute! Love it!
Love it! Do you think I could get a copy of that brochure? :)
And I think you did Scarry proud. We just picked up a copy of our library's summer reading program and it's some stinkin' clip art-YAWN. Yours is 100x better.
Thanks everyone!
Di- If I can sneak in and get a few more of them, I will send you one!!;-)

Hello,
Very entertaining blog, keep it up.
Hi,
Nice blog, keep on sharing interesting stuff like this.
This is adorable. I wish I could come to your class, it sounds like fun.
Just last week, I mentioned in my blog that the summer reading program at my library was a HUGE part of my childhood. How lovely that your work is being used for this one...the kids (and their parents) will adore it!
I loved these games
Hooo, que cosas tan lindas haces.
Awesome colors and your illustrations are just grand! Look out Richard Scarry! : )
Very interesting info. Thanks!
So you work in black and white first, even digitally?
That's a great idea, keeping colour decisions til later!
Is fantastic to see the process of the illustration. I love your work, you know. I'm a big fan of it!
