I'm Back

After moving, almost buying (and then deciding not to) a house, and adjusting to a new place, I'm ready to start blogging again! I've been painting a little bit for Stories For Children Magazine, but I've obviously slowed down my illustrating pace for the last while. Now that I feel like I've been much too lazy, I'm ready to get back on track and make my dreams happen!

This illustration will appear in July's edition of Stories For Children. I hope you like it!

IF: Camouflage

Poor Miss Muffet has not yet detected the (not-very-well) hidden spider about to frighten her away!

Fandangle Magazine

I received another assignment a while ago to do a cover for Fandangle Magazine (another online e-zine). The issue will be about fun animals at the zoo. It was really fun to do.

help!

Here's another illustration for Stories For Children (the May issue). I hope you enjoy it.

IF: (Mis)fortune

Some people have all the luck . . . and there are those who don't! This chap here doesn't exactly have good fortune, but he's one of those people who remain cheerful regardless. (I hope someday I can be like that!) I created him last month, part of a larger illustration (see if you can spot which one it is on my website).

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I'm expecting another baby and these beginning months are definitely not my favorite (and they will soon be OVER)! Thanks for all of the kind comments you've given. I really appreciate them!

Stories For Children

I finished this picture today.

A few weeks ago I previously mentioned a new e-zine, Stories For Children. It made its debut this week. Come check it out:

Stories For Children Magazine

Inside this issue I wrote and illustrated Gulp! and illustrated two poems: Big Boy and April Fool's Day

IF: I Spy . . . Myself!

Here's something from my website. I've been a little sick this last week and working on a couple of deadlines, so I don't feel up to doing something new. I hope you like it!
