I wanted to show my latest sample, this is part of the cover for a dummy book I created to take along with me to LA. It's a holiday story about a little guy who is too wrapped up in giving the PERFECT present.
The image also happens to fit this week's Illustration Friday theme, so I thought I'd play along.

Your woodcuts are so wonderful- I am in envy!
