One year ago today I published Daisy Dunlap and the Cartoon Carnival. It’s a small book but I’m very happy with how it turned out.

To celebrate the one year anniversary I wanted to share some of the fan art I’ve gotten over the past year.

First up is Daisy Dunlap by Claire B. You can see Daisy’s been through a rough night. This image also includes her Daisy Daffodil doll.

Claire also took a stab at Tom. Look close and you can see his green thumb.

This next drawing is from Nathalie S. One of my earliest readers. She depicts Daisy in pencil. Clearly at the beginning of the night before it got scary.

This last one is a delightful Chibi Derby from the fabulous CorynDrawz on Instagram. Follow her at: http://www.instagram.com/coryndrawz

But just incase his cuteness fools you she also made one with very clear text.

Have you read Daisy Dunlap And the Cartoon Carnival yet?

I’ve been describing it as mascot horror but wholesome. Think of Five nights at Freddy’s, Bendy and the Ink Machine, and Poppy Playtime. Daisy Dunlap is all the mystery and fun without the dead kids in the animatronic suits.
