There's A Bat In My Belfry by Julie Gillett, illustrated by Jeff Goodsell
There's A Bat In My Belfry is my first Illustrated Children's book. It was a fun challenge to take a character that I drew for the first time almost a decade ago, and re-explore it. Julie did a phenomenal job of giving him a personality, and I had the opportunity to add additional facial expressions and poses, I had never really drawn this same type of character over and over again before for it was also a great learning experience. This book will go on sale within the next few weeks so if you would like to be notified when it does, please email me at jeff@jeffgoodsellart.com, I will send an email with a link to purchase it online, or if you live close by you can buy it directly from me!

Mad Scientist Lab
This is my favorite painting in my new Halloween  Children's book "There's A Bat In My Belfry" It took me quite a long time to do all of the details in this painting, but it turned out beautifully! Some of the names of the books are inside jokes between me and my kids, it's fun to incorporate personal metaphor into my work.
