Curious George
Last fall I was approached by Houghton-Mifflin about possibly doing a Curious George project. They were looking for an artist who could replicate the style of H.A. Rey, the writer/artist who created Curious George. This is what I submitted. (EDIT: The images have been removed at Houghton-Mifflin's request until their Curious George project is completed.)
It's not uncommon for larger publishers to approach several different artists at once and then pick their favorite for a project. In this case, ultimately a different artist was chosen. Oh well, you can't win 'em all.
Someone recently wrote me asking if it is hard to land a job working with licensed characters. Well, this marks the fifth time in my career I've been approached to work on a major licensed character, but each time either the project fizzled or another artist was ultimately chosen. Hopefully 2007 will be my year!

Awesome, Ced.
I've been following your stuff for the last few months. Whats even funnier for me, is that you're a inspiration for me, and even neater is that I work for Houghton Mifflin. Congrats! I can't wait to see your stuff!
