SQ + IQ Collaborations

My four year old son Isaiah and I collaborate on projects from time to time. For awhile, he was really interested in princess stories...so we created our own. Here's the cover and a few pages. My wife Selina, helped out as well. In addition to being the co-illustrator, Isaiah is the author.


Despite my attempts to control the process, Isaiah does whatever he wants with the art.


Often times, I am happily surprised by his choices. Selina drew the giant.

The art will be hung side by side in a grid-like fashion. The show will be on display at Giant Robot NYC. Anyway, I have two pieces but will only put one in the exhibit and want to solicit your opinion as to which one I should use. Here they are. You can let me know in the comments area which you prefer. Just for clarity, the top one is #1 a...
