Ugh, that was lame, haha! But I, or should I say my easter chick, has been featured on a blog! Thanks go to Miss Knits – you can view it here. Yippee!
By the way, I finally have the go-ahead for the ballet book pictures (well, pretty much – still have to change one bit at the end but it won’t take long) so I will have to start getting down to it. I’d really like to get it pretty much finished before our big family reunion in Wisconsin in July…
I have some new prints up on etsy, just in time for valentine’s day! Check it out here. Here is a preview – the first two are Yetis in love, and then we have octopi.
Still waiting on the go-ahead to start the art for the ballet book…
I have just put some new things up on etsy – some lovely yetis! Some of them have been eating without napkins and some have not. Check it out!
I am working on some Sasquatches as well – they will be up soon. AND I will soon be posting this year’s ornaments!
Wow, I have really done a great job updating my blog, eh? Sheesh. I thought I was going to do better… But here goes; I’ll try again.
Ok, I have FINALLY updated my website to help those who were having some issues with navigation. For all you folks who thought I only listed one book on my books page, well, now hopefully it is more obvious that they are all there. So check it out! Also I have added links to my etsy shop, which is up and running. For springtime I made some bunny ears for my octopi:
In book related news, I actually made my deadline for The Twelve Days of Springtime, woot woot! Well, everything but the jacket. But still. I am now waiting to hear if they actually like them…. I sent them in at the beginning of March and haven’t heard yet. Hmmm. But anyway, here is a little preview:
Hopefully they will love them and I won’t have to redo any of them!
I recently did a little project with a second grade class from Long Island – they read Prudy’s Problem and Seymour Slug in class and then wrote me letters asking questions ranging from “what inspired you to be an illustrator?” to “what is your favorite color?” Then they drew slug pictures for me. I wrote back answering all their questions (used to be blue, but now I lean more toward greens and oranges…) and sent them some pictures (including the one above) and bookmarks. Now they are all writing stories about slugs! Apparently I have been an inspiration for them – cool!
In a couple of weeks I will be doing a school visit to the second grade classes at the Wilson School in Cumberland, ME. Even though I do not do school visits very often, they have had me come since the year Prudy’s Problem came out and they’ve always been so great to me – always a good time!
So there you have it for now. And I will try to update more frequently, really! Yup, I’ll do that…
