You'll have to read the book to find out! <br /><br />I just received my illustrator copies of a new series of chapter books by Cecilia Galante I'm illustrating for Random House called Little Wings.

What an amazing week! Random House even invited me to draw on their illustrator wall alongside some incredible illustrators - I totally geeked out. <br />"Really? Really? I can draw on your wall? Are you sure? These are all massively famous illustrators!" <br />I drew my dancing penguins from my upcoming picture book, PENGUIN CHA-CHA.

We were instructed to draw something on a 18x24 inch piece of construction paper that would eventually be laminated and used as a nap mat (AKA-teacher needs a break mat.) My subject matter was Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel and although I can't remember what it exactly looked like, I do recall lots of classmates and adults complimenting it. So these images are sort of a homage to Mike Mulligan for me.</div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08179909328620805262noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-88060527449708937092011-02-18T12:36:00.001-08:002011-02-18T12:38:53.088-08:00Howdy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjob-BEuEt-RNc98WH0gCET8JJp6FJK3TCaIRzYKZpJZazilfyS1NC4YK4KTo_4EbGQdcZhiYz0kP_hjOLXI2oQXNzZoJKvox2iuq45I6MZEIB3tZvJpjWUtj0utn4a5fLbgKGjBucC7U1d/s1600/Kids+Tear+sheet+crop.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjob-BEuEt-RNc98WH0gCET8JJp6FJK3TCaIRzYKZpJZazilfyS1NC4YK4KTo_4EbGQdcZhiYz0kP_hjOLXI2oQXNzZoJKvox2iuq45I6MZEIB3tZvJpjWUtj0utn4a5fLbgKGjBucC7U1d/s400/Kids+Tear+sheet+crop.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575131567511414402" /></a><br />WWW.ScottNelsonandSon.comScotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08179909328620805262noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-42429658006519751062011-02-05T08:39:00.000-08:002011-02-05T08:39:33.875-08:00A hint of things to come...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC5CJwyWFZ9wo5l5mzd2E_9alZpGQ57-CjO5B8w2SgARlOU8SHg84cIfXV3awumfO_RlKypBtN9CwKAzJVlX5Ys53iVX96GCIYncjaGzK68Ldb3xU4fIhJpMJ58CeHF7SmOhBd458H0iEJ/s1600/fishstudy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC5CJwyWFZ9wo5l5mzd2E_9alZpGQ57-CjO5B8w2SgARlOU8SHg84cIfXV3awumfO_RlKypBtN9CwKAzJVlX5Ys53iVX96GCIYncjaGzK68Ldb3xU4fIhJpMJ58CeHF7SmOhBd458H0iEJ/s400/fishstudy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>There are three new books coming out this spring/summer.

This daring 1,000-mile journey is one of the great exploration adventures of the American West.<br /><br />I have been fascinated by John Wesley Powell's into the Canyon since I was quite young and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Grand Adventure</span> is my attempt to try and share with kids what it was like to go into a wild, unexplored area and be unsure if you would even come out alive. No maps, no GPS, no cell phones to call for help! The Colorado was a mighty river back then and the boats they went down in were so small.

A beautiful oil painting may soothe the soul for one viewer while the curves and movement of a beautiful sculpture might inspire the spirit of another. <br />
<br />
Often I work on my water based illustration for hours and worry about them being ruined by a finger print or a haphazard spill. I scan them, take a photo of them and then squirrel them away so they are not ruined. Although there is nothing wrong with this process, I'm trying to force my art to become more tactile. To no worry if it's battered, bruised or even beat up. Just provided people are seeing it.<br />
<br />
With this thought process I recently started a new effort to push not only my creative side but also to push public involvement in my art. I simply created an imaginative painting, attached a vague plot line along with some directions to the it's back and sent it out to the world in hopes the public will not only see my illustration but actually touch it. Heck, if a cannonball went though the art at this point I only feel that it would HELP IT!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I was working on <a href="http://www.flying-poodles.com/">Flying Poodles, A Christmas Story</a> I needed a lantern for the barn where the reindeer were sleeping. I found a great looking one online and adapted the idea for this painting as well as for the Flying Poodles book. I really liked the way the light spread itself around the area. Yes, I am sure the fox is only interested in an egg or two. No hens will be harmed and it is pretty much a given that the mouse will sound the alarm long before the fox has fled. </div>Ginger*:)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14970160779830842600noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-10262471224214104872011-01-05T13:31:00.000-08:002011-01-05T13:32:01.260-08:00My New Book<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b2IB6lsZ4Ho/TSTiJGmRcII/AAAAAAAAEJo/pWCdiqSl6Vo/s1600/fox+peek.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b2IB6lsZ4Ho/TSTiJGmRcII/AAAAAAAAEJo/pWCdiqSl6Vo/s400/fox+peek.jpg" width="272" /> </a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Iām so excited to show you a sneak peak of my first illustrated book!<br />

For years we used to make these flour/salt dough angels, snowmen, cookie shapes,<br />
and ornaments. Here is the recipe and some hints for creating your own angels. To see any of these charts larger, just click on the image.<br />

If you don't do this the dough will become too dry. If your dough is too wet you can put a little flour on your hands before you begin to roll out the body parts. Create 11 balls of dough in sizes similar to those above.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once you have them all ready you can begin with the wings and place the head between the two wings.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCNjDWDeaf16OiN8P8YTprcxL9lvk3ujKC57m1edjOyJ8MPrTB_7pOHBK2xApTWwpQhfzvcrfOqCN-IMBxpIhG0GsW4q9paqVRSy3LcmVViDg_lQy8uPjw9S4VybohF-fhIKvUojOii5tx/s1600/wings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCNjDWDeaf16OiN8P8YTprcxL9lvk3ujKC57m1edjOyJ8MPrTB_7pOHBK2xApTWwpQhfzvcrfOqCN-IMBxpIhG0GsW4q9paqVRSy3LcmVViDg_lQy8uPjw9S4VybohF-fhIKvUojOii5tx/s320/wings.jpg" width="244" /></a> Next you will begin to assemble the angel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When you pack them away after the Holiday season, you can store them in air tight containers for the next year. Our collection grew over the years.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is a hint.... the smaller the object the less time it takes to bake. So check your creations after the first 20 minutes or so. These are about 3 inches high and maybe an inch and one half wide.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
