My bookshelf of books I have designed and art directed. Yeah me!

I just discovered you site. I am a children's bookseller of 15 years and a book review blogger of 2. As an art school drop-out, the artwork and design of a kid's book has enormous appeal to me and I frequently judge (or at least choose) a book by it's cover. I also decide what to face out on the shelves at the bookstore where I work based on what appeals to me visually. I just checked out your bookshelf and am in AWE of the books you have worked on! The design for Sisters Grimm is dead gorgeous, as are David Kirk's Elf books. But, truly, your work on Wimpy Kid is brilliant! The books are really visually appealing, great to display and extremely attractive to kids. I was just saying to a coworker the other day, "The person who designed the Wimpy Kid covers is a genius!" Can't wait to see what color book 5 will be. Congratulations on all of the great work!

Wow thanks Tanya! Check out NERDS. I am extra proud of that series.
