You’re very welcome. I personally feel that a painting needs to be seen in person. Something is always lost in a photograph. Glad to hear it arrived safely.

Justin:

Thank you for producing such an awesome work of art. I enjoy having the original to look at everyday. It is even more impresive in person.

I like both Wiesner & Teague’s work. I just read How does a dinosaur go to sleep? to my daughter the other night too.

Thanks!

I appreciate the positive responses.

Arp-I’m open to the possibility of children’s book illustration. I think it can produce some really strong work. In particular I really like the work of David Wiesner and Mark Teague.

Justin,
Our family, and especially both me and my 5-year-old, “M”, are real Jaws fans. We watch it practically weekly. M absolutely loves your painting, and he wanted to say this to you:

“How did you do that drawing? I like your picture really a lot. ”

Thanks!

Naw, son… check the post author’s name. I couldn’t draw a smiley face with a stencil template and two pages of directions.

Justin Reed does all the artwork on the site. His website is over in the blogroll – lots more cool stuff on his site, check it out.

dood. you can paint? i could never get the hang of color – nor did i have the patience for really detailed drawings. i’m calling you if i need an illustrator for that children’s book that’s been an idea for ages.
