The Snake and the Salamander

New Ipswich illustrator Matt Patterson  spoke about his love of amphibians and reptiles at the New Ipswich Library. Matt did the illustrations for the book The Snake and the Salamander: Reptiles and Amphibians from Maine to Virginia. He brought along original prints and as an extra treat a pet African Spurred Tortoise.

Eddie the Tortoise  was the big hit with everyone

Just to be clear, Eddie is a SHE, She loved the library.

One of Matt's illustrations. He uses coffee for the wash. He paints in acrylics.

He always starts with a pencil drawing.

I love this expression

Matt holds Eddie (Female). She spends summer outdoors.
