Rock Stars of Reading part 3: Lane Smith cont’d

Author/Illustrator Lane Smith (on JOMB) walks us through his thought process and style decisions for two books he’s working on that will be published in 2009 — Princess Hyacinth (The Surprising Tale of a Girl Who Floated) with Florence Parry Heide due out September 22, 2009; and The Big Elephant in the Room due out July 7, 2009. He also demonstrates how he takes original sketches, imports them into Photoshop and turns them into digital, production-ready artwork.
