Life has a way of throwing curve balls. (like nature). You can run and hide or you can ride it out. Let go of those who run.

Lovey Bunny makes a library TOP 10! Whoo-hoo
My first book got some love from a librarian in Michigan. It is so nice to see that kids are checking my book out. Lovey is like my "Little Engine that Could"; (albeit a bit of a sales mystery) -with two retail seasons in Target, three printings and an upcoming board book version launching later this year. But you have to celebrate all the little milestones. :)

experimenting...
Sometimes I want to get away from coloring on the computer and create more illustration completely by hand. This was drawn and painted, but then I couldn't help myself and brought it into the computer to add a little something-somethin. lol! I love to layer in photoshop and am happy with the trees on this piece.
Character Development
Sharing some of my process in developing little Billy for The Grumpy Pets. He was a little too grumpy at first, so I had to create a version that wasn't too scary. Lots and lots of sketching! And color tests.
GREAT news!
So happy to share this. I am eternally grateful to Jill Davis. Here is the press release from PW this week. More to come!
