Press for Prairie Silence

I was excited to hear a comment about my cover design on The Christoper Gabriel Program this past Monday. Around one minute in the host says some very nice things about the cover! "Jill pitched this book to me and my first reaction was (...) I'm not really interested. The book came (...) and I looked at the jacket (...) and the jacket of the book drew me in." The host then admits that he really enjoyed the book once he started reading. Here's to judging a book by it's cover. You can find the segment here. Below is the reposted cover:

Another Christmas present

My dad can be tough to buy presents for. It seems that everything he wants he just goes and buys for himself! This year I decided to surprise him with a set of illustrated greeting cards that he could use for his work. My dad works for Kennesaw State University and their mascot is an owl-hence the subject of this drawing.

Christmas Presents


I drew this portrait this past holiday season as a commissioned Christmas present. I have a better scan, which I will post at some point. For now this is a photo I was sent by the client.

Sketchbook



I have a bunch of really tacky jewelry that I love. So one stormy day I decided to start sketching it. More to come another day...

Prairie Silence design

It has been a very busy holiday season at work, which has in turn caused my long absence from this blog. Hopefully I will be posting more frequently in the next coming weeks. For now, check out my jacket design for Prairie Silence: a Memoir, which will be released tomorrow!
