Bart's KING-SIZED Book of FUN!

A recent project I really enjoyed was creating the illustrations for the kid's book Bart's KING-SIZED Book of FUN by Bart King (you can check out Bart's blog here). Although the book won't be released until September, here's a preview of the illustrations!

Your work is always superlative, but this is sheer genius. The source material must have been incredibly inspirational!

Wait, check that. I just read the source material. Horrible! This makes your achievements here even more impressive. :)

Chris Sabatino said...

HA! Thank you for your comment, Bart King, but the source material WAS inspirational (as always) because it was written by one of my favorite authors named Bart King!!! Thanks for the comment!

These are really great Chris! The shadow makes them jump off the page. Cool zombies too.

Chris Sabatino said...

Thanks, David! I'm enjoying your blog on a daily basis, I don't know where you find all the cartoonists to interview! Hope to see you soon.

Fun stuff Chris!

I really like the pirate with the pancakes on his hook. I had previously thought that having a hook for a hand would have it's disadvantages, but this is an angle I hadn't considered.

Oh, Pin the tail on the Squid is hilarious.

I...missed...your...post! The horror!

Okay, okay I'm calm and I will make sure I won't miss it again ^_^. Yes I'm kinda dramatic this morning (didn't had my coffee :|...)

I'm loving these bunch of crazy people! And the book 'Big book of Gross Stuff'...I guess it's not about the size of the book, but the hugeness of grossness that's written in it huh ;). Oooh a pirate that is drinking syrup?! Arrgh I see, doctors orders aye?!

Cyaaa *waves*

Hey Chris, thanks for the comment on my blog. Your style is really fun and playful. I admire all the other talented kids illustrators out there. If you know of any kids projects we could collaborate on, let me know. :)
