The Jelly Monster by C.S. Gieck, Artwork by Merida Bass
A new story for kids
My childhood friend, C.S. Gieck, wrote another children's book, and asked me to illustrate it. This one is currently titled "The Jelly Monster." It's a fun story about a kid named Ben who has trouble telling the truth. The ending will surprise you and leave you thinking.
I should complete the illustrations by the end of April, 2024. I'm creating the art on my computer using Adobe Fresco and a Wacom drawing tablet. The results are much more artistic than what I could achieve using Adobe Illustrator.
We'll be looking for publishers sometime in May, 2024.
Night Dancers by C.S. Gieck, Illustrations by Merida Bass
Ready for publishing
Night Dancers is a book by C.S. Gieck that I had the privilege to illustrate for her. C.S. Gieck gives the theme of a young kid afraid of the dark a new and delightful twist. Will young Donovan find a way to overcome his fears? You're just going to have to wait for the book to hit the shelves to find out!
This book is complete and ready for print.
Attention publishers!
We have both the book layout, and the individual files ready to go. Email me for a sample, and let's get this book into the hands of young readers.

I'm in the process of illustrating this book I wrote, transitioning from Adobe Illustrator to Adobe Fresco. See the difference? Fresco is on the right.

The story is a funny and heartwarming tale about a dude that can't seem to do anything right. The project has been on hold due to other commitments. It will be finally finished this summer.
