Well, I haven’t really been dead. It just seems like it because I haven’t posted in so long. And after spending a week lugging boxes of books down from my parents’ attic, I feel kind of almost dead anyway… But I am back now, and have some good news in the publishing side of things!
First of all, Deborah Lee Rose, who wrote the 12 Days series, has written a book called “Twas Right Before Recess” and I have been asked to do the illustrations for it, yay! It is about a spelling bee, and reading, and all that good stuff.
Second, and most exciting for me, is that my story “Ten Creepy Monsters” has been accepted by Abrams, whee! A book about monsters and not kids! Not that I don’t like kids, but I do love monsters…. I have a year to complete the art for monsters, and another couple of months to have the spelling bee finished, so it will be a busy year, but that is a good thing!
And finally, Miss Tutu’s Star is available for pre-order now on Amazon. You can find it here!
In etsy news, I have listed a new muppet print – Gonzo (the Magnificent) You can check it out here.
And I have also listed one of my higher-end sculptures on etsy – I’ve never tried listing a fairly expensive item like this before, but other people do so I thought I’d give it a try. Up now is a Slug Angel of Love,
and soon I will be adding the Slug Angel of Doom. Who knows, maybe they will sell! Stranger things have happened.
Thanks to everyone for coming to visit my daughter Erin and me at the spring open studios at Salmon Falls Mills! We had a great turnout, and were even interviewed by a nice fellow from artspider.net. I hesitate to post this because I sound pretty dumb, but here it is, ugh, haha!

And that’s all for now, folks! I’ll try to be better about this… but that’s what I always say……..
