hello Portfolio

After a long absence, welcome back to my portfolio (applause!)

see the sidebar for a link and check it out!

I will be updating it regularly; it's good to be back!

TaDa!

The proofs have come out, the planning has begun, I just can't wait any longer.....I have to show you the cover proof of this book!

It's going to be published in november, in time for the holidays,of course. Yesterday I got to meet the charming Melinda Long for coffee, and we came up with a game plan to travel the state and present it. It sounds like a lot of fun!

check back for some peeks at the interior drawings...

in the garden

calling it "in the garden" is a lot more interesting than calling it"endless hours spent in front of the computer moving photos and deleting programs"....

soon I'll be able to hook my scanner up to my NEW COMPUTER !! hurray!

life will never be the same

:)

monday inspiration

I will let myself be inspired by my little girl today, she sure has a way with a pencil

IF: Cocoon

a cozy cocoon for this rainy may day

IF: dip

I couldn't resist digging out this old cat for "dip" .

By the end of the month I'll be able to jump back in with some new work,
right now I can't wait to get cranking on the last big deadline projects!

hi

hello blog, just checking in...

No time for Illustration Friday this week, I'll have to wait for the next topic to roll around. My big girl is on break, and we're enjoying the days and trying to squeeze in a bit of work, since the deadline is creeping up.

The picture today goes with a whole bunch of them done earlier this year; little books that come with your baby doll...more on that later too.
