I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

I have been using an AI video generator to bring some of my paintings to life. Each sequence is my original painting with additional motion added. I have prints of all of my painting available on my web site here:

Animorphs 5 was the only cover that I was asked to redo. The original cover had Marco morphing into a gorilla. I redid it with him morphing into a lobster. This is the first time I have ever posted the full flipbook. You can buy a signed print here:

Here is a nice interview with me on the "Animorphs 55" podcast. I am sorry to say I made a major mistake right at the beginning of the interview. I mixed up Animorphs 3 and 4.
3 was the first cover I did, of Tobias turning into the hawk.

When I was in 4th grade, my teacher called my mom in for a conference because I was reading too many Star Wars books during reading time and she was “concerned.” My mom said, “At least he’s reading!” and backed me all the way. 30 years later, I made a Star Wars show. God-tier parenting. Thanks, Mom!

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.
