Book Review

"Bigfoot's Small Feet" was recently reviewed by Read to My Heart's Content. It contains testimonials from actual kids, which I thought was awesome. It's always great to hear what they have to say!

Bigfoot's Small Feet: Now on Amazon

I am happy to announce that my recent children’s book effort, Bigfoot’s Small Feet, is now available through Amazon for less than the price of a plunger of a couple of muffins. Get it here!

Bigfoot Character Concepts

I recently found these early concept drawings of Bigfoot, which would later be used as the main character for the “Bigfoot’s Small Feet” children’s book.

It was pretty cool to rediscover the origins of the thing that I worked on for so long.

The book was recently completed, and the full artwork can be viewed here! http://www.jordanrace.com/bigfoots-small-feet/

Bigfoot's Small Feet: The End

Happy to say that the artwork is done, the script is finalized, and "Bigfoot's Small Feet" will be available as a children's book soon.

All of the newly updated artwork is online and is ready for your eyeballs.

Bigfoot's Small Feet - Updated Book Cover

Working on quite a few edits and final touch ups for my Bigfoot’s Small Feet children’s book illustrations. I’m focusing on keeping the original “soul” of the art while improving any technical aspects that seem sub-par to me. This is the updated cover.

I do like the older/rougher look as well, but as the book progressed, I feel like the style became more crisp, so I should probably make the earlier stuff look like it was done by the same artist.

Can you spot the differences?

Silent But Deadly

This is the final illustration from the children's book, Bigfoot's Small Feet. They are all finally complete! Time for a couple of finishing touches and to figure out how to actually put the story onto the pages, and it's really done.

Troll Dive

Colored the troll dive page from the children's book, Bigfoot's Small Feet. Just one more to go!

Bigfoot Swimming

Silent But Deadly

 At last, I’ve reached the final page of the children’s book I’ve been working on for over a year, “Bigfoot’s Small Feet”. Now all I have to do is color a few and the illustrations are all done.

(SBD = silent but deadly)

Bigfoot Swimming

Been a while since my last upload. I am finishing up the final pages of "Bigfoot's Small Feet", after a year of on-and-off work on it. The book will be available for purchase/download pretty soon.

I also have more images from "The Bees" (for anyone who remembers that), which has unfortunately been discontinued, but I'll be uploading those puppies sometime soon as well.

After all of that, I plan on making some new and really weird stuff, because weird stuff is the best stuff. Stay weird, and stuff.
