V is for the most notorious gum chewer, "Violet Beauregarde," from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. I could just as easily have chosen Veruca Salt or a Vermicious Knid, but the thought of illustrating a girl turning into a blueberry was too fun to resist.

U is for "Uyulala"

U is for "Uyulala," the southern oracle from The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. She's a character that can only be heard, never seen, so I illustrated the forest of columns where she lives. (Fittingly, in its original language, the title of The Neverending Story also starts with "U," Die Unendliche Geschichte. ) I vividly remember reading this book for the first time when I was ten, and it has been my favorite ever since. Because of The Neverending Story, dusty, used book stores will always be magical places.

T is for "Treasure Island"

In a mix of blue and black ink, this is Jim Hawkins hiding in the nearly empty apple barrel, overhearing nefarious plans. I really enjoyed reading Treasure Island. It's a great adventure story, although I really wish that the only female character (Jim's mom) didn't faint at the first sign of a pirate.
