Check out an excerpt from my children's book - Mumble Grumbles

Someone emailed me to blog a little about how Mumble got started.  Well, he actually wasn't the first character I came up with in the story.  The bad guy - Footoo - was first.  I started in watercolor but decided I liked the control of colored pencil better.  Each piece took many, many hours (actually about a week or two) to complete.  The whole book though from concept to PDF probably took about ten years of my life.  The first sketches I did in a laundromat watching my clothes spin around.  Thats where I met my wife so the book process slowed a bit but continued.  Three years later when we had my daughter the book though almost complete stopped completelywhile we cared for our angel.  It wasn't until years later that I completed it.  I am hoping that a publisher will find this page but in the meantime I hoped others can enjoy my art.

Below I have Page 1 from my book.  As I said previously, I have converted it into PDF form.  Email me at jscottart@yahoo.com if you are interested in finding out how to get a PDF of Mumble Grumbles to share with your child.

Mumble Grumbles

Welcome to my art gallery!  These are pieces from a children's book that I am interested in getting published.  The book is titled Mumble Grumbles.  It is about a little guy named Mr. Mumble who is on a quest to retrieve the stollen hats of his countrymen.  He must confront the evil wizard Footoo to save the day.  The book is presently in PDF form - ready and waiting to go to print!
