Welcome to my blog, a journal in words and pictures from the small studio where I work full time as a children's book illustrator.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ YIELD

It isn't very likely that either the dog or the squirrel will YIELD.  The children may get worn out a bit sooner *:)

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ CAPABLE

A newborn elephant must be CAPABLE of standing and nursing very soon after birth.  The dangers that are present for newborn calves in the wild are always present.  This image is one from a dummy I am working on and this particular painting was finished today.  I can't tell if it will change before the dummy is complete, but I know that the journey in creating the illustrations for this book will be a very satisfying one.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ GROUNDED



From "Carla's Cloud Catastrophe" written by Beth Bence Reinke and illustrated by Ginger Nielson.  An emergency presented itself on Carla's birthday when the clouds suddenly made their way to the ground and just stayed there!   The book is worth looking into.  Carla's story is fun, fanciful, and great for kids.
You can find copies at 4 RV Publishing, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and your favorite bookstore.
