Rider student hippity-hops into literature By Jill Templeton and Nicole Veenstra “Then with a hippity, a hoppity, and a slippery-flip-floppity, a small brown bunny appeared right next to Annabelle’s boots,” reads page six of senior Kellie Marshall’s first children’s book. Marshall, a fine arts major, has been working on Annabelle and Wilbur since the spring of her sophomore year. Although primarily interested in the illustrative aspect, she is confident in both her drawing and writing abilities and hopes they will continue to develop as she goes on in her career. “It is the first story I have ever written, but I wrote it with an eye on the future,” Marshall said. Annabelle and Wilbur is a children’s short story centered on the relationship between a young girl and a rabbit. When they first meet, Annabelle is very shy and nervous around Wilbur, a small animal with a big sense of adventure. However, through the course of the story the two learn to trust each other and Wilbur helps Annabelle come out of her shell. Marshall said she took inspiration from her own childhood when creating the character of Annabelle. “As a somewhat introverted person myself, I knew that the basis of my book would be overcoming shyness and opening oneself to adventure,” she said. “Annabelle is a reflection of me and Wilbur is a reflection of the stuffed bunny I had.” Marshall added that her passion for illustration came from a favorite childhood pastime. “My grandfather and I would spend hours drawing cartoons, comic-like strips and creating little sketches with speech bubbles,” she said. “After my grandfather passed, I decided to pursue illustration more seriously.” Dr. Harry Naar, a professor of fine arts, has been Marshall’s adviser and mentor throughout the entirety of the project. “I was really excited because I’m really open to students coming up with ideas and pursuing those ideas,” Naar said. “If I can be of any help in that regard, that becomes a really important position for me to take. She has worked really hard on it, and it’s an original idea with original imagery. Basically the role I played was more in terms of questioning her, advising her and making suggestions here and there, but for the most part it’s totally her idea.” Marshall said she is thankful for the help and encouragement that Naar provided throughout the creation of the book and during her education at Rider. “He was the one who originally encouraged me to pursue what I thought was then a very naïve idea,” she said. What she once thought of as a pipe dream is now nearly complete. Marshall hopes to put the finishing touches on the book before the end of May and submit it to various publishers. Marshall is excited to potentially see her story in print because it relates to her personal experiences — something Naar thinks plays a critical part in the success of a student’s work. “I’m really after students creating images that relate to who they are,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished product.” In the meantime, Marshall is working on another illustrating project. She was approached by an author whose story has been approved for publishing, in hopes that she would provide the illustrations for the book. Nevertheless, Marshall’s collaboration with another author has not caused her to abandon ideas for the future of Annabelle and Wilbur. “While I may not have put pen to paper, I have many ideas for more stories with these characters,” she said. “Ultimately I would like for Annabelle and Wilbur to be an adventure series, continuing into four or five individual books.”

Marshall, a likovnu umjetnost glavni, radi na Annabelle i Wilbur od proljeća njezin sophomore godini. Iako je prije svega zainteresiran za ilustrativni aspekta, ona je uvjerena u oba njezina crtanje i pisanje sposobnosti i nada se da će i dalje razvijati kao ona ide na u karijeri. "To je prva priča koju sam ikada napisao, ali sam ga napisao s okom na budućnost," rekao je Marshall. Annabelle i Wilbur je dječje kratke priče usmjeren na odnos između mlade djevojke i zec. Kada su se sreli, Annabelle je vrlo stidljiv i nervozna oko Wilbur, mala životinja s velikim smislom za avanturu. Međutim, kroz tijek priče dvije naučiti vjerovati jedni drugima i Wilbur pomaže Annabelle dolaze iz njezine ljuske. Marshall kaže da je inspiraciju iz vlastitog djetinjstva kada stvarate lik Annabelle. "Kao što je nešto introvertnu osobu ja, znao sam da na temelju moje knjige će se stidljivost i prevladavanje sebe otvaranja avanturu", rekla je ona. "Annabelle je odraz mene i Wilbur je odraz zeko plišane koje sam imao." Marshall je dodao da je njezina strast za ilustraciju je došao iz omiljene dječje slobodno vrijeme. "Moj djed i ja bih provesti sate crtanje karikature, strip-trake kao i stvaranje male skice s umetanja balončića s tekstom", rekla je ona. "Nakon što je moj djed je prošao, odlučio sam nastaviti ilustraciju više ozbiljno." Harry Naar, profesor likovne umjetnosti, bio je Marshall savjetnik i mentor tijekom cijelosti projekta. "Bio sam jako uzbuđen, jer ja sam stvarno otvoren za studente koji dolaze s idejama i provodi te ideje", rekao je Naar. "Ako ja mogu biti od bilo kakve pomoći u tom pogledu, to postaje jako važno mjesto za mene to potrajati. Radila je stvarno teško na njega, a to je izvorna ideja s izvornim slikama. Uglavnom ulogu sam igrao je bio više u smislu joj pitanje, je savjetovanje i izradu prijedloga tu i tamo, ali za najveći dio je u potpunosti njezina ideja. Marshall kaže da je zahvalan za pomoć i ohrabrenje da Naar pod uvjetom tijekom stvaranja knjige, a tijekom školovanja na Rider. "On je bio jedan koji je izvorno potiče me da slijede ono što sam mislio je tada bio vrlo naivan ideja", rekla je ona. Ono što je jednom shvatiti kao maštarija je sada gotovo potpuno. Marshall se nada da će staviti završavanja dotakne na knjizi do kraja svibnja i dostaviti ga različitim izdavačima. Marshall je uzbuđen da bi mogli vidjeti svoju priču u tisku, jer se odnosi na osobnim iskustvima - nešto Naar misli igra ključnu ulogu u uspjehu učenika u radu. "Ja sam doista nakon studenti stvaranje slike koje se odnose na to tko su oni," rekao je on. "Ja sam stvarno obličje naprijed to viđenje gotovog proizvoda". U međuvremenu, Marshall radi na drugom prikazivala projekt. Ona je prišao autora čije priče odobren za tisak, u nadi da će ona pružaju ilustracije za knjige. Ipak, Marshall je suradnja s drugog autora nije prouzročio joj da napuste ideje za budućnost Annabelle i Wilbur. "Dok sam ja ne moraju staviti olovku na papir, ja imam puno ideja za priče s više tih znakova", rekla je ona. "Na kraju bih za Annabelle i Wilbur se niz avantura se nastavlja u četiri ili pet pojedinih knjiga."
