Ball of Wax 37 Songs (and pictures): Caroline Keys and Nate Biehl – “The Deep Above,” Illustrated by Tim Kirkpatrick

“It’s hard not to love Caroline & Nate’s song. My inspiration came simply from the playfulness of the song’s cadence. The lyrics and melody reminded me of a playful ‘day-in-the-life-of’ the giant squid – a sort of walk in the park – & it seemed clear that this slumbering queen had a lot of different friends to enjoy frolicking in the deep dark sea with. I wanted to be sure that visually there were as many fun things to spot with your eyes as there are fun things to hear with your ears. . . .

“As for how this was created technically: I’ve added a little visual progression. I pretty much approached the creation of this the same way a comic book artist might – first pencil, then ink, then add color. I vectorized the end product so that I could more easily manipulate the individual creatures, and the layers of line & color information.” -Tim Kirkpatrick

Ball of Wax 37 Songs (and pictures): Colin J Nelson – “Koala,” Illustrated by Scott Bilstad

“I think of great children’s books as having many little things in the art and story that you discover each time you read it. I tried to make an illustration to Colin’s song that reflected koalas being high up in the trees and also keeps your attention for a little while. I work in pencil and pen and then Photoshop for tweaking and color.” -Scott Bilstad
