How cute! Who did it for you?
Holy Adorable, Batman!!!
I love the new look and I love that it was drawn just for you, not just an image you found somewhere out there. Weeee!
Oh, I love it! So whimsical!
Wow, is he an author/illustrator?
Oooh that’s a pretty header!
Lots of header love. Josh is one talented guy!
I love it! 🙂
Ha! Love it. It’s exactly how I imagine my kids while they are reading books they like.
Love to Josh!
That is one cute header!
Freakin’ adorable. Love it!
Oh my gosh, that is entirely too cute!
That is an incredible piece of artwork! Very cool!
(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.
Awwww, thanks all! I’m just a little sad that I couldn’t squeeze a ninja in there too.
Josh — THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NINJA?!?!?!? Back to the drawing board, Ferrin!
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.
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.
Love it!
Love it! <3
That is so cute! Perfect for your blog. Great job, Josh!
I think there should be a ninja AND a volcano.
Woa @ jmartinlibrary. There was a volcano. But the ninja killed it.
Josh: Ah, grasshopper understands. Such is the path of a Shaolin illustrator.
Love it!! Way to go, Josh!!
Yowza, that’s cute!
Love it! Great typography too. Very whimsical with a touch of cool.
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.
really fresh and clean. I want to hug that dragon!
Love it! Much more personal than your old header, and so fun! Nice job!
Adorable! I particularly like the eyeball in the magnifying glass.
Love it! =D
I like the eyeball!
So adorable! Gives kidlit a fun effect 😀
Josh: What medium did he use? Is this illustrator?
AbFab — no rubik’s cube, though? 😉
So cute!
Oh, I love it…fits this site perfectly!
Great job, Josh!
@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.
So cute and creative. Love the new look.
NICE job! This new header is GREAT!!
LOVING the new header!
Love the header – reflects the blog perfectly.
Very retro, probably because of the colours it has a 50’s feel to it.
I love your new header! It’s shiny! 😉
