Fred and Ethan's Spectacular Discovery
My children's books:

(Formerly titled, The Amazing Spectacular Ordinary Bottle)
I had a strong desire to create a story that focused on the importance of imagination. I wrote and illustrated this book that features a boy and his dog who discover a strange bottle on the beach after a storm has passed through. We follow along as he imagines all the things it could be, or what it could contain.
Here are 4 select panels from the 15 completed in pen and ink on bristol.
Our story begins as a boy and his faithful dog discover a strange bottle on the beach.
Colorized version, preparing for publication.
Maybe it's part of some pirate treasure that washed up during the storm. There must be more somewhere.
Maybe the bottle contains a potion that would turn me into a super genius! I could figure out how space ships could travel faster than light.
The bottle ended up containing just a bit of smelly water.
So he let his dog, Fred, have some fun with the seagulls.
