The Art of Carson Ellis

(Click to enlarge)
Last week, I talked over at Kirkus with Carson Ellis about the first picture book she’s both written and illustrated, Home (Candlewick, February 2015).
Today I’m following up with some sketches and art from the book. I thank Carson for sharing. And I highly recommend reading this Q&A over at the wonderful Picturebook Makers too, which has even more art.
Here’s my 2011 breakfast interview with her.
Enjoy the art.
