So as most, if not all, of you know, my exit project is creating a childrens book for Campbell House Museum that tells the story of the Campbell family in a way that kindergarten-3rd graders can understand. It'll be accompanied by a story time education program I'm designing. I've done the story, but I am definitely not an artist, so an art student at UMSL agreed to illustrate the book for me. I got some of the illustrations today! Check em out!
1. Gus the narrator (an actual person who was a servant here for 40 years) showing the kids the dining room
2. The kitchen, including the bell system
3. Gus the narrator's room
4. Grandma Lucy's room
5. The library. This is my favorite of the illustrations she's sent me. Although Gus' hand in his pocket doesn't look quite right...
6. Mr. Hugh's room
Aren't these great!! I put them into the book and it looks wonderful. I can't even tell you how awesome it feels to see your vision start coming together after a almost full year of work!
Books will be on sale at the Campbell House Museum gift shop, and also Looking Glass Designs of Lafayette Square. Plus we're just printing them at Kinko's, so if you want one, come talk to me and I can prob print one for you (but we'd prefer you support the museum or Mom's shop :-) ).
Anyway had to brag on myself cause these are awesome!
