Magic...

it's not for everyone.

I haven't posted in a while and here is why!

I am applying for a Children's Group Design fellowship and to apply one
has to send in their portfolio. I wasn't going to send in my actual portfolio,
so I saw this as an opportunity to do something really special...
because I want this fellowship so bad that it is eating away at my soul! 

So, I decided to turn my portfolio into a children's book about
a little Fellow who traveled the world on his little ship.
His destination was the City, where he could learn from the great book makers.

  

The book was hand-bound, with a dust jacket!

 

My resume was on the inside flaps.

 

The cover letter was on the back of the dust jacket

I did three custom illustrations for the book to help tell the story of the little fellow and his ship.

Each blurb continued the story. The one shown below tells 
how the little fellow helped seven elves of the
South Pole develop a brand so that they could
compete with the corporate juggernaut known as Santa Claus.
