yron's been a busy illustrator of late for clients such as The New York Times and the National Post, but he has taken the time to post some great new work. This ninja illustration is one of my personal favorite illustrations of the year. What could be better than being hired to draw a ninja - maybe having such a great concept too! Visit his site here: http://www.byronegg.com. Also if you are walking through the main mall at ACAD try to pick out his student work in the current ACAD Illustration and Character Design Exhibition.

You can see all the pages at her website HERE

Praise for HARRY AND HORSIE: "Young boys and space adventurers will adore this captivating, exuberant, and contagious tale." — KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW) Praise for HARRY AND HORSIE: "With dashing visuals that capture Harry's deep-space adventure with verve to spare, and a comforting resolution, this has potential to be a bedtime favorite." — ALA BOOKLIST Praise for HARRY AND HORSIE: "A delightful story with even more delightful illustrations. Agnew's art is wonderfully retro-modern - like what the future looked like in, say, comic books of the '50s" — NEW YORK POST Agnew's high-energy, retro look makes a dashing complement to Van Camp's hyperpowered flight of fancy. — BOOKLIST
