Another Day, Another Dummy Book

..and 30 more pages to go lol.  It's not daunting...really it isn't.  :) 

 

Fingers crossed--maybe a publisher will decide to adopt this one. 

Illustration Friday: Grounded II

Grounded: admirably sensible, realistic, unpretentious.  A perfect description of this boy's panda bear friend.

Woogykin's Revenge

This is a color sample from a recent dummy book I've been working on over the past several weeks.  Extra excited about this one :)) I bought a hamster recently named Butters to keep me company in the studio, and ended up being inspired enough by his antics to write a story about one.

Lost Part II

Lost

This sketch has a special meaning for me.  Over the summer, I discovered a mast cell tumor in my dog's right foot.  It was frightening to think I might lose her to cancer and to not know what was going to happen.   It came as such a shock as well, because she had been in such perfect health all her life.  Thankfully it was not aggressive, and the tumor was completely removed along with the cancerous cells.

Illustration Friday: Fuel

Snow has always been fuel for my heart and soul.  I honestly dread winter around here at times, but the magic of a surprise dusting of snow makes it much more bearable.
