Behind the Scenes
The Neighborhood Next Door
Before The Neighborhood Next Door became a story, it began as a collection of sketches, ideas, and unanswered questions. This behind-the-scenes look offers a glimpse into how the world was imagined — from early concepts and puzzle ideas to moments that nearly made it into the book. Not every door was opened, and not every room made the final cut… but they all helped shape the adventure.
Early Sketches & Concepts
Long before the story had words, ideas were dreamed, sketches made... imagination - the starting point to every great story.
The Puzzle That Opens the Door
Concepts of how the book was to be triggered, I landed on the puzzle pages. The trick, create a puzzle page that is intriguing, without giving away any answers. After all who doesn't love a good puzzle!
Rooms That Almost Were
There were so many ideas floating in my head for the rooms in the haunted hotel! Some of these were a little to "creepy."
More Coming Soon...
Stand by for more concept art, sketches, and more!
