My son and I have been working on the RoboTales books for two years now. This year, I hope to get them in print!
These are advanced chapter/lower middle grade books and will have illustrations in each chapter, so we feel the art is very important to the project. I hunted around until I found an illustrator who really captures the feel of the books. Her name is Kirbi Fagan, and she is so talented. Click here to view her website.
Since we need so many illustrations for the first three books, we’re going to try an do a Kickstarter campaign so we can afford to pay for the art up front. Be looking for the Kickstarter campaign to start in late February.
We paid Kirbi to do a portrait of Robo for the campaign to show everyone the style of art we’re hoping to have in the final books. What do you think?

I can only laugh at that picture. So much like a dog, and yet so much like a robot.
