Escape from Netherworld Illustrator John Manders

My book, Escape from Netherworld, was illustrated by an amazing artist by the name of John Manders. John's work has been featured in over 30 children's books and a ton of children's magazines. I can't thank him enough for the dynamic job he did on the cover and a special drawing we included on the inside of the book at Chapter 4.

John's incredible work has been exhibited at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh gallery, the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum, and he was honored in the 25-year retrospective of Cricket magazine covers, held at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. That year, he was also a participant at the Children’s Book Fair in Bologna, Italy. In May, 2006 he was named Outstanding Illustrator/Author by the Pennsylvania School Librarian’s Association. 

John Manders' helped bring this book cover to life by using his special art technique, that you can read about on his website,  http://www.johnmanders.com/index.html

Check out his website and he also has a blog that you can take a look at and follow as well.  He is a great artist, illustrator and man.  Thanks again John.
