IKEA's LATTJO Activity Book

IKEA recently added another title by Shawn Finley to it's family books section. "LATTJO Activity Book", a coloring book for all ages, features 96 pages of intricate black and white imagery of imaginative creatures and botanical designs. Shawn worked closely with the producers at DreamWorks to illustrate and design this coloring book collection (inspired by the original designs of Maja Sten and Tyra von Zweigbergk.) The book is currently available on IKEA's website, along with "LATTJO Story Cards", illustrated by Shawn Finley and Denise Shimabukuro.

Phonics Monster

The New Year is off with a bang with this fun Monster project that made me smile! E-Public, an educational publisher from Korea, approached me about doing a series of book covers for beginning English students. 

Each cover features one of the four monsters (Plop, Turley, Moo, and Volt) who help make learning fun for Kindergarten through 2nd Grade readers. 

Every book also comes with an interactive multi-rom with educational computer games and other extras. Plop, Turley, Moo, and Volt can also be seen in the "Writing Monster" series, illustrated by Shawn Finley Studios in 2014.
