Or maybe the bottle opens a gateway to a magic land of broken mountains, twisted trees, and angry bushes.

When I was a visiting author, this (unpublished) story was requested most frequently. Teachers loved how the theme validated self-reliant entertainment.

Or maybe the storm caused damage to an alien spaceship. They left the bottle behind after they made the repairs.

I'm Open For Children's Book Art Projects!

I'm Open For Children's Book Art Projects! After completing a large project, I'm open to commission work again. While I can work in multiple styles, my specialty is a "realistic whimsy" style that combines the warm look of watercolor with the flexibility of digital art. When you work with me, you get the benefit of someone with deep realism experience, the professionalism of 25+ years of corporate marketing/advertising, and a passion for telling stories with art. I'm passionate about art, especially art for stories that inspire the imaginations of our world's most important asset: our children. Imagination is the brain's muscle memory for critical thinking and is essential for propelling us from what is to what's possible.

A bottle like this could have a magic Genie inside. He could let him out, and it would grant his wishes.

In this recent work, I perfected an approach for illustrating complex trees (on the right of this 2-page spread) to achieve a more vibrant and natural appearance.

I just recently finalized the artwork for the 10th illustration of my children's picture book, Fred and Ethan's Spectacular Discovery. In this work, I perfected an approach for illustrating complex trees (on the right of this 2-page spread) to achieve a more vibrant and natural appearance. This scene represents Ethan's increasingly creative and complex flights of fancy as he tries to imagine what could be inside the strange bottle he discovered. I'm available for children's book art commissions in my vibrant "digital that doesn't look digital" style. Learn more at https://www.studio-w.art/kidlit

Maybe the bottle has a message inside from someone stranded on a deserted island.
