Author and illustrator, Jonathan Miller of Underdog Endeavor Productions, creates all of Sammy's adventures, making them exciting, informative, and enjoyable for both children and grown ups of all ages!
Artwork by Jonathan Miller
You may not be able to tell from these images, but all Illustrations are completely made of construction paper and card stock. So those lines on bridge - individual strips of paper. Each illustration averages about 30 hours of labor but the detail and hard work give the book it's unique and beautiful feel.
I'm going to assume that making a living as a writer is probably the equivalent of making it as a rock star - a long shot at best - and unbelievably hard. But local author and artist Jonathan Miller is making it happen with his series of The Adventures of Sammy the Wonder Dachshund books.
Jonathan both writes and illustrates his books. And the illustrations are not your average drawings. Each picture is carefully crafted from construction paper, cut and layered to create amazing images. In addition to the books, he also creates this same type of construction paper artwork with images of Charleston.
Be sure to check out Sammy the Wonder Dachshund at the Artist Market on November 19th. You'll be able to preorder the next Sammy book - Sammy in Space!
