It’s Official: Darby Sample is our Illustrator!
Today was a joyous start to the new year, as author Nick Roussos met with his friend, Darby Sample, in order to sign the contract retaining him as the official illustrator of Nick’s next book!
Check out the new hat from Darby- it’s a Diamond supply company hat. So cool!
Darby was chosen from a group of illustrator submissions last year. He patiently awaited the creation of a contract so that he could begin story boarding for the next book.
Shaking hands to seal the deal
Darby will be working on illustrations over the next few months while balancing his job as a student teacher at Laurel Elementary. We are so excited to be giving a sneak peak soon of Darby’s fun and playful images in the upcoming book: Nick’s Eggsciting Adventure: An Awesome story about Exploring in Action
