A handful of spot illustrations for The Dreamkeeper Saga, a YA fantasy fiction series from Crossway. It is a quirky and imaginative series, written in the spirit of Narnia, that draws from all manner of mythical, literary, and cultural sources. This makes it very fun to illustrate:

With five books at roughly 30 chapters each—one illustration per chapter—it is by far the most expansive illustration project I have worked on. It is also not my normal illustration style, so coupled with the constraints of black and white only and few to no portraits of human characters, it has been creatively stretching and formative.
