It's official - Artist illustrations chosen!

The official results of my scene illustration search are in!

After strong consideration of all the submitted works of art (and some hard choices on a number of those scenes), I’d first like to thank everyone who submitted drawings for my upcoming book Into What Splendor.

Your imagination and zeal shined through in your art and you should be proud of the work you did.

My hat’s off to you!

I was especially wowed by the selected illustrations and I think all of you will be too when you finally get a chance to see them. That said, let’s tear open the proverbial envelope and meet the artists!
