Their users will be able to pop the images into the books they build and publish them online or in the Apple iBook store. Over a three week period I created over 130 little images within 13 themed categories. (Because they needed so many images in a short period of time, I shared this project with my brother and fellow illustrator Nick Sirotich, who also created over 100 images!) Below is a sampling of images from the Farm, Garden, Dog & Cat and Food categories. This project stretched me beyond the boundaries of my typical illustrative range, a great exercise that got me pumped to explore more diverse subjects in my own illustrations. <img src="http://payload92.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/4147224/PaperletforWeb1_700.jpg" width="700" height="1532" width_o="700" height_o="1532" src_o="http://payload92.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/4147224/PaperletforWeb1_o.jpg" data-mid="22598652" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload92.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/4147224/PaperletforWeb2_700.jpg" width="700" height="1600" width_o="700" height_o="1600" src_o="http://payload92.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/4147224/PaperletforWeb2_o.jpg" data-mid="22599966" border="0" align="left"/> I was asked by Paperlet, a great new app that helps folks build e-books, to create a large library of images for their marketplace.

For good reason--it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been! Being from southwest Florida, though, where even the most residential areas are crawling with armadillos and gators and giant woodpeckers and salamanders--I've been feeling a bit of critter withdrawal lately. Living right in the middle of San Francisco, my most typical creature encounter is with a pigeon. So I decided to do some investigating to get to know the wildlife of the state I now call home. What an incredible diversity of animals live here! I created the Living California map for the native and transplant Californians who love their home and the animal friends they share it with. A limited edition 13" by 19" print of the map is available in the Cuddlefish Press shop now. And if you're interested in my illustration process, here's a detailed guest post I wrote for the illustration blog Ten Paces and Draw about illustrating and designing the map. <img src="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/CAMapWeb700_700.jpg" width="700" height="1038" width_o="700" height_o="1038" src_o="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/CAMapWeb700_o.jpg" data-mid="20736497" border="0" align="left"/>Details: <img src="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/CAMapDetailsWeb700_700.jpg" width="700" height="1015" width_o="700" height_o="1015" src_o="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/CAMapDetailsWeb700_o.jpg" data-mid="20738058" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/LivingCA StraightOn web_700.jpg" width="700" height="891" width_o="1000" height_o="1273" src_o="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/LivingCA StraightOn web_o.jpg" data-mid="20981428" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/LivingCA Angle web_700.jpg" width="700" height="550" width_o="1000" height_o="786" src_o="http://payload83.cargocollective.com/1/1/54323/3963580/LivingCA Angle web_o.jpg" data-mid="20981432" border="0" align="left"/> I moved to California one year ago and quickly discovered how much Californians love their state.
