Poppy

I recently did some pencil illustrations for a book entitled "Poppy", a coming-of-age story set in upstate Michigan during the 1950s. It's a bit of a detour from what I usually do, but it was a pleasant diversion & reminded me a little of my own childhood in the north of England. Below are a few of the drawings that I produced for the book. More information can be found at the publisher's web site (Century Systems Publishing / Penny-A-Page Marketing) which is here.

I'll put up more info when the book comes out in print.
