I did the whole YA author thing… and so when 100 Scope Notes introduced the Debut Picture Book Cover as part of his cover week, I decided I needed to have some fun with it.
Presenting, my picture book: Raymundo and the Spinning Balloon, by Tabitha Kibbey.
That’s about as good as I draw, too. Though I liked the possibilities of the spinning balloon in this picture…
Anyway, the instructions if you want to play along:
1 – Go to “The Name Generator” or click http://www.thenamegenerator.com/
Click GENERATE NEW NAME. The name that appears is your author name.
2 – Go to “Picture Book Title Generator” or click http://www.generatorland.com/usergenerator.aspx?id=243
Click CREATE TITLE! This is the title of your picture book.
3 – Go to “FlickrCC” or click http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net/index.php
Type the last word from your title into the search box followed by the word “drawing”. Click FIND. The first suitable image is your cover.
4 – Use Photoshop, Picnik, or similar to put it all together. Gettin’ creative is encouraged.
5 – Post it to your site along with this text.
The Book Nut 
That was way too much fun! I did both the YA and the picture book and posted them on my blog. I'm so easily amused. I love both your covers, but Raymundo and his balloons intrigue me to no end.

I agree, very intriguing! Has sort of an existential vibe to it 🙂
