It was supposed to be a themed art book, but to my knowledge it hasn't been published and there haven't been any updates on the blog in almost two years. It's a shame because a lot of phenomenal animation industry talent contributed artwork on the theme. I did this Bunyan Bits illustration. I was thrilled over the prospect of being included in a book with the likes of <a href="http://www.bigblownbaby.com/">Bill Wray</a>, <a href="http://www.louromano.blogspot.com/">Lou Romano</a>, <a href="http://www.reccardi.com/">Chris Reccardi</a> and many others.
