Stomp! Roar! MWAH! <\/p>\n

I reviewed David Ezra Stein’s<\/a><\/strong> newest picture book, Dinosaur Kisses<\/em> (Candlewick), over at BookPage<\/em>. That link is here<\/a><\/strong>. The book will be released in several days, as you can see at the BookPage<\/em> link. <\/p>\n

So, you can read about it over there, but here at 7-Imp today I’ve got some early sketches from the book (as well as a bit more final art), which David sent. These are process pics, he told me — “from early style ideas, to character design, to some sketches, to more finished work. … You will see a few Mama Squirrels<\/a><\/strong> in there. I was working on that around the same time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Enjoy! <\/p>\n
