Sasquatch's Big Hairy Drawing Book cover illustration and design and the original pitch cover art.
Sasquatch’s Big Hairy Drawing Book will be published in September 2011 by Chronicle Books. It is a drawing activity book that I wrote, illustrated and designed for kids and adults to enjoy scribbling in, doodling on and defacing in any manner they see fit. A website for the book is set up here: whyissasquatchcrying.com, and there are more process posts I made about it on the blog.

Many versions of the cover were created before we landed the biggest, hairiest, best one.
Here's an illustration of the author, me, enjoying my royalties earned from the book. Help make this a reality. Buy the book!
