Sketches from the Author

Sometimes I have to play with pictures to find the words, so I'll make a collage to get warmed up. | My writing looks like lists and doodles until the very end when I write it out on the computer. | An early sketch in Tony Sarg's studio where they puppeteers are figuring out how to make the inflatable animals. |
This was the perfect place to have a spread that had to be turned, just like the "upside down marionettes" rising up. | In a nonfiction book even the smallest detail needs to be accurate and I found this wonderful reference for a 1920's New York City bus stop sign that I used in Balloons Over Broadway. |
