    Oh, I love it! So whimsical!

    Ha! Love it. It’s exactly how I imagine my kids while they are reading books they like.

    Love to Josh!

    (You should make KidLit t-shirts from that. I’d buy!)

    Are your eyes really that big in real life? :)

    Definitely conveys the right tone: FUN.

  14. josh.ferrin’s avatar

    Awwww, thanks all! I’m just a little sad that I couldn’t squeeze a ninja in there too.

  15. Mary’s avatar

    Josh — THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NINJA?!?!?!? Back to the drawing board, Ferrin!

  16. Jonathan S’s avatar

    Yes! Add ninja please!!! :)

    It really is a marvelous banner, but I would guess Mary’s eyes are only that big when she’s reading a submission she really, really likes.

  17. Melissa Gill’s avatar

    That’s so cute. And after watching your video on Write On Con, I can imagine that’s just what you looked like as a kid. All that’s missing is the rubix cube.

  18. Rebecca Thomas’s avatar

    Love it!

  19. Deb Salisbury’s avatar

    That is so cute! Perfect for your blog. Great job, Josh!

  20. @jmartinlibrary’s avatar

    I think there should be a ninja AND a volcano.

  21. josh.ferrin’s avatar

    Woa @ jmartinlibrary. There was a volcano. But the ninja killed it.

  22. @jmartinlibrary’s avatar

    Josh: Ah, grasshopper understands. Such is the path of a Shaolin illustrator.

  23. Lisa Albert’s avatar

    Love it!! Way to go, Josh!!

  24. tammi sauer’s avatar

    Yowza, that’s cute!

  25. Diana Murray’s avatar

    Love it! Great typography too. Very whimsical with a touch of cool.

  26. Mikki’s avatar

    Who was it suggested T-shirts? Love that idea, and I would definitely buy a couple. Umm…Josh, can you do that? Oh…er…I’m kinda glad it doesn’t have a ninja…actually, I think the ‘gator probably ate the ninja.

  27. Katharine Owens’s avatar

    really fresh and clean. I want to hug that dragon!

  28. Ishta’s avatar

    Love it! Much more personal than your old header, and so fun! Nice job!

  29. Gayton’s avatar

    Adorable! I particularly like the eyeball in the magnifying glass.

  30. Shari M.’s avatar

    I like the eyeball!

  31. Elizabeth  Prats’s avatar

    So adorable! Gives kidlit a fun effect :D

    Josh: What medium did he use? Is this illustrator?

  32. Bane’s avatar

    AbFab — no rubik’s cube, though? ;)

  33. Charlie Eve’s avatar

    Oh, I love it…fits this site perfectly!

  34. Greta Marlow’s avatar

    Great job, Josh!

  35. josh.ferrin’s avatar

    @Elizabeth Prats: Yup! I sketched it out in pencil, scanned the sketch and did the rest of it in illustrator. Oh, and a little texturing in photoshop.

  36. Anita’s avatar

    So cute and creative. Love the new look.

  37. Lynn Rush’s avatar

    NICE job! This new header is GREAT!!

    LOVING the new header!

  39. Julie Hedlund’s avatar

    Love the header – reflects the blog perfectly.

  40. christine  tripp’s avatar

    Very retro, probably because of the colours it has a 50′s feel to it.

    I love your new header! It’s shiny! ;)
