It's #kidlitpostcard day! I'm adding my card to the hashtag, and I hope many more illustrators looking for children's book opportunities do the same!

SO many gorgeous pieces in my timeline! I'm SO stoked! I swear I've followed over 100 new folks in the last couple days and there just seems to be more & more fabulous artists popping in by the hour!
Helps the sting of putting the bird site & the really-just-reels site on the back shelf feel better.
I'm hard at work on my new project: a practice children's book dummy I'm submitting for professional feedback in Dec.

It is much hotter here in San Diego than it has been in a long time... With no A/C, I'm left to making sure I move as little as possible and that I'm thinking cool thoughts!! LOL!
So in that spirit, here is a cute little winter scene to remind us of cooler days.
November. Whew! I have two more months to complete: July and December, and I want to go back and revise May. But then I'll start making mockups and start selling them.
Man, this month was a hard one for me. LOL! I'm glad I accomplished it thought--I really pushed the colors and lighting so I hope it still looks wintery...
Onward!

Whew! I finished the month of August for my Little Red Riding Hood-Inspired 2023 calendar, "The Very Long Walk to Grandmother's House". This one came very quickly and very intensely!!

I know a lot of folks are really feeling the heat lately.
Here's a happy little arctic wind to remind you of cooler times.

Today on my live art stream, I finished up the month of January for my Little Red Riding Hood-inspired 2023 calendar. Whew! This one was a quite the challenge!

I finally figured out what to call my 2023 Little Red Riding Hood-inspired calendar: "The Very Long Walk to Grandmother's House". Which make it all make sense why there's this random girl in a red cape in all my landscape images... hehe....
I figure the first image will be Little Red actually going into the forest, and then by December she'll finally reach her grandma's place.
A very very VERY long walk.
Whew! Woot!!!
