A beloved children’s classic is revived!
With the generosity of Linda Gramatky Smith we were able to acquire source materials for the classic Little Toot series. Hardie Gramatky’s earlier book interiors were printed with a mix of color and BW. We knew BW would not fly in the digital re-issues, so  colored the old BW illustrations in keeping with Hardie’s style. I was lucky to have the aid of several gifted artists, including the brilliant Kalin Dimitrov, who took time away from a busy art directorship to help me make the deadline.

Here’s a little before/after of some of the images:
