SpeedBump and YO YO

Somehow when you can't sleep or think you might be sleeping other thoughts and images invade your mind.  Last night these two critters kept showing up in my thoughts and dreams.  So this morning I had to create SpeedBump and Yo Yo.   I think it is pretty clear who is who.  *:)

I also think they need a story of their own. I'm not sure where they will fit into my plans for them, or if they will decide on their own just what they want to do.  I am sure they will easily find their way into a ton of trouble.

COMING SOON ~ Flying Poodles, A Christmas Story

Over the past few months I have worked closely with an amazing author and entrepeneur.
Karen Morss is a true renaissance woman. She grows and markets her own Mayer lemons in her very own orchard, creates creative stained glass works of art, coloring books, is the "mom" to Lucy Ball her red haired poodle, several kitties and is a great story teller!

When Karen contacted me to illustrate her book,
"Flying Poodles, A Christmas Story, "I was honored and delighted to be chosen to illustrate this story and enjoyed the challenges it presented to an artist.


Just imagine an illustrator given an assignment that includes not only 8 reindeer but 8 adorable poodles as well.  Each dog with it's own personality will charm readers of all ages.  Beyond the delightful story is a message to us all.   Don't ever give up.... you are capable of more than you realize. Helping your friends in need has rewards that are priceless.

Karen's  Poodle Dog Productions website offers a pre-order for the book as well as the announcement for the iPad app.  The iPad will have quite a few extras for the audience that downloads the app.
For every book sold, Karen offers a donation to the Smile Train Changing the World one smile at a time. So while you are smiling at her fantastic story, others who need to smile will have a chance to do so as well.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ GERMS

I would guess it all depends upon how you look at this.
Germs? Love? Both?

We love our pets as part of our family. They are the most trusting members who give
us unconditional love 24/7. This illustration is dedicated to my friend
Sherry who lost her beloved dog and trusting friend, LUKE this past week.

A little more Black and White


Sometimes you might wonder why your mail looks a little the worse for wear. It is the Holiday seasonal helpers, I am sure.

And I am also sure that some of the help has a distraction or two.
