Boo-Boo Bear

A quick #saturdayscribbles picture I did last Saturday, incorporating the themes bear and bandage.

Next Project?

Now that Brother Prairie Dog is completed, I'm looking at other projects....one of them is a children's book I'm illustrating and writing, which I started a few months ago. If I don't end up needing to work on something else, this will be my next book. The main character is a lizard. I may have mentioned this before, but now that I'm returning to it, I'm mentioning it again:)

Here's a sneak preview:

Christmas Penguin

When I'm not too busy promoting Brother Prairie Dog, I'm also working on some Christmas designs.

Here's one which, incidentally, involves a penguin, which seems to be my other favorite subject lately:)

Penguins and Fireworks...Naturally!

Another penguin piece. Done for #saturdayscribbles on twitter....the theme was fireworks.

It was fun....I love using colored pencils!

Picture Book Character Dynamics

Just read a great article about Picture Book Character Dynamics on Words and Pictures: SCBWI British Isles Magazine.

It was written by John Shelley, illustrator of, I believe, 40 children's books, whose work is lovely.

Very helpful! Thanks, John. Lots of practical tips to help us grow as illustrators.
