annaraff.com version 3.0—under construction!

After months of planning, annaraff.com is officially under reconstruction! During this time of transition, you can see virtually all of my work by going to annaraff.com, and clicking on the links to various portfolio sites and blogs. For those of you who just can do without your dose of the sandwich—and have flash player capabilities—click on the lunch lying on the lower right of the home page. Or click HERE.

picture-book.com portfolio

As part of my Portfolio Honor Award at SCBWI earlier this year, I won an online portfolio at picture-book.com, a source for publishers, authors, and art directors seeking children’s book illustrators.

Images are big and splashy, which is always good, and they have big online presence in the world of children’s publishing. Here’s a little preview of what you’ll see on my page. Click here and enjoy!

kiwi magazine - april/may 2010

Next time you’re in Whole Foods or Barnes & Noble, check out the current issue of Kiwi Magazine. In addition to the illustration for the back page essay, I did another series of spots for their “cooking class” section. This month, they’re teaching kids how to roll out pizza dough.

And just a few moments ago, I finished the cooking spots for their next issue—but more on that in a later posting.
