Color Illustrations/Graphic Design - "Gordon the Groundhog"

Design details: I have written a children's story called "Gordon the Groundhog" that needs colored illustrations. A total of 16 illustrations will be needed. I had a previous illustrator who could no longer complete the project, and she had already done 10 illustrations. So those will need to be re-done in your style, as well as 6 completely new illustrations. See the story attached for reference.

Please provide and attach samples of your illustrations that you feel are most representative of the type of illustration I am seeking, or a sample specific to this project if you desire.

Thank you,
Paul Hogan
