Ann and Sufjan

Hola!  So I finally finished EVERYTHING for Cousin Ann.  The worst part I'd have to say was reformatting 2 versions of the cover when I realized it was completely off dimensionally (which makes sense since I kind of made up the dimensions way back before we had a publisher).  No word on whether the files are publishable and correct, but here's to hoping we get this book printed in time for the holidays!

This is the final illustration, by the way.  It changes a lot in the book.  I minus the text and change the frame and colors.  I love this version though, which is why I am posting it for all to see since you won't find it in the book.  I changed it because this one was not nearly peaceful enough for the poem's tone.  It's more EVENING HYMN YEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Also, I recently attended a Sufjan Stevens concert at the Kimmel Center here in Philly and it blew my mind.  I got to see him from the edge of the stage.  He was 15 feet away from me the whole time.  I'm not going to lie, I may have also been crying for most of this experience.  I got a set list too! So in honor of that epic evening, remember this from 5 years ago? Feeling nostalgic already (for the concert).  Enjoy.

 love you.
