High Five Magazine--August 2022 Issue: "Happy Cake Day!" Hidden Picture Puzzle Spread!

This Hidden Picture puzzle is in a little bit of a different style than my line work. I like to mix it up here and there! This was published in the August 2022 issue of High Five magazine. See if you can find the hidden pictures! There’s a key for you, if you need the help!

My thanks to all the fine editors, art directors and designers at Highlights for Children and High Five magazine for the fun project!

High Five Magazine--May 2022 Issue: "Let's Build" Hidden Picture Puzzle Spread!

More catching up! This was a Hidden Picture puzzle I created for Highlights. It ended up in the May 2022 issue of High Five magazine! It was a lot of fun to put together and turn it into a Three Little Pigs scene. I envisioned that the pigs built block houses when they were little piglets, all before they built their houses that Wolf blew down. Except the brick one. I wonder which of these piglets built that one…? My thanks to Highlights and High Five magazine for the fun project to work on!

Something New! High Five Magazine Spread: "Art With Friends"

I’m a little behind with keeping up with the blog and posting new, printed work, but hey! This two-page spread hidden picture illustration was created for the December 2020 issue of High Five magazine. I enjoyed working out the bedroom this little boy was making art in! And how cute, that his “friends” are stuffed animals! They seem making some nice art there—all of them! I hope the kids enjoy the illustration, as well as finding the hidden items in the spread. Thanks, High Five!

Something New! Highlights Hidden Picture for Christmas!

I was also asked to create this inside illustration for the same Hidden Picture book! Such fun to work on these elves as they decorate a Christmas tree. See if you can find the hidden pictures that are on the list! Have fun!

Something New! Highlights Hidden Picture (The Corona Virus 2019 Edition)

Highlights is really one of the best companies to freelance for, I have always said! Things have changed a lot over this past decade, but they never cease to appreciate their illustrators! So with this odd time of the world shutting down and sheltering because of a very-bad-no-good virus, they have found ways to be relevant, helpful, and continue to educate and amuse kids! I am grateful and honored to be one of many illustrators commissioned to do a special HP to reflect the this period of time. These Hidden Picture illustrations were published on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, where kids and adults alike can find the hidden objects, and maybe even identify with the scene. I know I do! My contribution is below, including some closeups. Thank you, Highlights, for all you do!
