Hey! Look what came in the mail the other day =] It's the 'Sad Monsters' book I worked on a while back with super funny writer, Mr. Frank Lesser. I had a lot of fun illustrating some of the hilarious characters in this book... and it's my first cover! You can come by APE on Oct 1-2 in San Francisco where I'll have some of the originals on display at table #701. I'll also have a few copies you can check out (maybe even some for sale?). You can pre-order some right now via amazon, powell's (yup, that awesome store in portland) or other fine retailers at the bottom of the Sad Monsters website.

and a couple of details from other illustrations in the book.

So yeah, come by table #701 at APE and say hi. I'll be there sharing a table with my tag team partner who makes these adorable little cards you just want to eat up. I hear the google doodlers are in the house as well... a super crew of artists I have the lucky chance to work with. Anywho thats plenty of chatter from this box! Hope to see you guys there! -willie

So awesome! I just pre-ordered and I can't wait. Keep up the great work willie, I've never commented before but I've been reading your blog since 2008 and you've inspired me to follow my dream to become an animator. Just started school two weeks ago. Keep rockin.
This is awesome dude! Congrats on your first, and hope to see more from you in the future!
Thanks! efmuok, wow thanks for the kind words and good luck with school! It's so humbling to read your comment. I try and put my best foot forward, have fun with my art and it's very rewarding to hear that it's made a connection. Thank you for commenting :)
