I was a little surprised when a package arrived at my door from Wizards of the Coast. It had some product in it, the sort of package I get when something I've illustrated for has been published; I get a couple of copies. What surprised me was that I hadn't done any illustrations for this book!
Or so I thought. The book itself is not a game book at all--it's an illustrated "field guide" of the sort that has been popular recently, part of the Mirrorstone imprint, which publishes books for the 'tween/young adult market. It describes the land of faeries (I do hate the latin spelling of that) with lots of friendly illustrations and some fictional text. So I flipped through and saw my name on the credits page at the back. Interesting. Finally, I found that they had re-used a spot illustration I did back in '06 for the Magic Item Compendium book. They reprinted an illustration I did of musical instruments under a section called, appropriately enough, "Magical Musical Instruments." Exciting stuff, but the original book was simply a book of items, which featured other such illustrations of mine. The illustration was rendered digitally after a pencil sketch.

Heh, that always an odd surprise when you get sent a book that they used an old illo in.
Another side note to that book, Emily did the cover (as well as a ton of other illos) but they mistakenly credited it to Eva Widermann!
