Marco Polo
A couple of months ago I got a great call from the always stylish and always charming Laurent Linn (Art Director at Simon & Schuster). We've chatted several times at various SCBWI functions but haven't ever had the opportunity to work together...until that very welcome phone call/job offer to work on the book cover for a really fun upcoming teen novel about a young Marco Polo! Since I can't go into the plot details of the novel, I'll just say that the "released" info about it can be seen here. Also, I can't show the cover in it's entirety just yet either, but below is a snippet from it just for teaser-sake.

And what a teaser it is! It's gorgeous!! I can't wait until May! :)
Thanks Laurie! You're too kind. I'm really looking forward to seeing this in May too (although I hope time moves slowly between now and then cuz I've got too much to do! :)
Hope you're well!

Sweeeet! That looks amazing, Jim. I've been so curious as to what your Secret Project was!! I love all of that detail in the hair.
Hope you're getting some sleep (and perhaps a superhero movie every now and then too). I'm dying to see Iron Man again once my schedule calms down.
