Quarto Publishing asked me to create the art for a children's book focusing on various moments with Groot. As we know now, “I am Groot” means very different things when Groot speaks, and this book shows that off in a few quirky and lovable ways with his odd intergalactic family. childrensbookillustrator bookillustrator illustrator

Alex Gordon Smith is a seriously talented author. He asked me to illustrate his first self-published children’s book and I was more than happy to take on the project. A family story centered around Harry Hardman, his best friend, his dog and his large family of sisters. A tale of epic proportions and wonderfully brought to life by Alex’s writing style.
