The Bug Book, authored by Kathy Kranking and published by Golden Books Pub., Co, Inc. in 1997, is a children’s book that showcases vibrant illustrations of common insects. I used alkyd and oil paints on heavy weight paper, to achieve a smooth texture and meticulous detail. The book’s spreads measure 17.75” x 9.25”. (The last image is a half-page.)
A few years prior to doing this book, I’d purchased a platform stereo-microscope to examine insects more closely for some of my other projects. Happily, I got to use it again here; it allowed me to really get in there and observe the details.
Original art will be enveloped in an archival sleeve and shipped sandwiched between several layers of fome core and corrugated cardboard.
