What's Going On At The Time Tonight? I'll tell you!


 
I received a special delivery today. Finally, the book I illustrated is available to buy and my copies were sent in the mail. It's an amazing feeling to hold the final product after working on something like this for 6 months! So without further delay, I present snippets of the book, What's Going On At The Time Tonight? written by Gerald Mercer
 

"What’s Going On at the Time Tonight? is a sweet and rollicking rhyming book about a Newfoundland “time”—a party—with a twist: it’s underwater! The sea lice are boogying, the jiggly jellyfish are riding the wave, and everyone is having a good time tonight." -Nimbus Publishing

5 Questions & 5 Answers With Illustrator Roberta Baird

Q: What is your creative process?

After I receive and assignment, I begin researching and sketching for character development. When I feel I know my character well enough, I move on to working on the book layout.  When all the necessary people involved with the book production are satisfied with the sketches, I clean them up and scan them. I then take them into Photoshop where I digitally paint them.

Q: How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as stylized/painterly with a whimsical approach. I like to infuse a little humor where ever I can

Q: What do you specialize in?

I specialize in painting animals both realistically and stylized, and I also enjoy illustrating subject matter with darker themes, such as monsters and witches, of the fairytale kind.

Q: Are you working on anything at the moment?

I'm working on a wonderful children's book and app with Dawn Publications,  about the different kinds of creatures that live in the Florida Everglades, to be published in 2014. I think kids are really going to love it!


Q: What was the last project that you completed?

I just finished a book called The Legend of Ranger, The Reindeer Who Couldn't Fly. This book will be coming out around Christmas of 2013. It's a book about hope and finding the strength within yourself to overcome your fears
