This weeks Friday Fan Art features a talented animator named Brittany, who was inspired to create a 3-D model of my old pal, Ted. Brittney recently graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and is currently trying to break into the animation industry. Check out her marvelous rendition of the jovial mischief-maker and a few in-progress images to help guide us through her process. Read more
I have always been a fan of classic board games, so when I came across this Friday’s Fan Art I knew I had found a gem. Take a look at 9 year-old Liam’s beautiful rendition of The Search for WondLa BOARD GAME!!! He went above and beyond by choosing an original project idea for his 4th grade monthly book report project. “The Search for WondLa would make a great game!” Liam had exclaimed to his (totally cool) mom before he began to design his own journey through Orbona.

Happy lucky Friday my fantastic friends! For this week’s post, we’ve got a special Friday Fan Art delight from a very talented fan, Ray. Ray has sent us an image all the way from Peru! He has been inspired by some of the artwork found in Arthur Spiderwick’s Guide to the Fantastical World Around You and has presented us with a unique rendition and character design of a “Baby Mandrake.” Read more

But I do get reminders (like last month’s UK tour) and in the form of wonderful letters that arrive in my mailbox from fans who live very far away. Read more

Isabella from Ohio sent in an awesome drawing inspired by Kenny & the Dragon for this week’s Friday Fan Art. She mentioned in her letter how much she loved how Grahame (the dragon) and Kenny Rabbit became such good friends, which I think she conveyed nicely here. Check out Grahame’s giant grin… Read more
