Other Illustrations by Susan Nelson

Non-Technical Book Illustrations

As examples of different styles, I am showing illustrations from two different non-archeaological books. The first set shows pages from a book first published in 2008 that was written by the well known Native American Flute player, story-teller, and all-around musician, John De Boer. Each of his songs "tells a story" which he relates in his book "The Storyteller's Flute", a companion to his CD's. I did all of the illustrations for that book. The black and white drawings for that book were done in pen and ink. The colored drawing for cover was done in Corel's "Painter".

For the song "Spirit of the Bear"

For the song "Honoring Song"

These illustrations are from a children's educational book that I (and the author) am still working on. The purpose will be be to teach children about the habits and calls of various birds in the United State.
