ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ SINK

On a fiercely foggy night Lucy groped for her cabin door.  She thought she'd found it and stepped inside, only to find herself in midair on a slow drop into the sea.  Before she began to sink she called out to her parents onboard....  "Bummer!"

The Children's Illustrators Talent Pool

This is my week on the Talent Pool of Children's Illustrators.  I chose to feature, (who else?) Gunther the Underwater Elephant as the main event.  The Talent Pool is designed to show off the many illustrators that are featured on Children's Illustrators' portfolio website.  The illustrators choose a week and reserve it with a small fee. The idea is hoped to generate interest in the artist for future assignments.

Gunther is special for me because it is the first of several books I have not only illustrated but written as well. Others are in the wind, or wings, waiting to be launched over the next few years.

There will be bears, and witches, and pigs, Oh MY!

What in the world did Gunther do to save the day?

When Gunther the baby elephant finds out that he can float along underwater he is delighted.
With his trunk held up like a snorkel he floats along happily.  Perhaps he should have paid attention because trouble finds him too quickly.  How he solves his problem and saves the day will have you laughing.  Gunther has a big surprise in store for anyone who tries to mess up his day.

Gunther the Underwater Elephant will be released in mid September.  More details will be coming soon.

An Interview and more....*:)

I was happy to be asked to participate in a series of interviews at the Visual Storytellers Studio Jill Bergman was kind enough to post a series of interviews with the members of the group. This week it is my turn to answer some questions and show off a tiny bit. I hope you will visit and take a look at all the interviews posted there.
