Freelance work for Dover Publications Part 2

I've been really busy with all sorts of deadlines for Dover Publications, hence the lack of updates for a while. Some of the stuff I did for Dover over the summer has recently come out (I got my copies of the Treasures of King Tut's Tomb Stained Glass Coloring Book yesterday).


I did this in June, right around the time the Indiana Jones 4 came out. Tried my best not to look at Indy stuff while working on this obvious Indy rip off. Dover even used the Indy font. Hope I don't get sued for this.

The premise of the sticker books is that I create this blank image and sets of reusable stickers that kids can use to make their own compositions/illustrations with.

I'm also working on a number of stained glass coloring books. They are printed on vellum and kids can color them and then put them up to a window to mimic stained glass.
