This is the first piece in a new series I'm working on - jungle animal scenes done in oil pastels.

Ahoy Again!
It seems like every couple of days lately, I've been selling one or two pirate birthday cards on my Greeting Card Universe site. I finally realized that maybe it's because a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie has opened. Anyway, I printed up a number of them, along with some of my other cards, and took them to the gift gallery at my local Art League to sell. I'm also considering opening an Etsy shop. In any case, I'm putting more effort into my greeting cards and licensing art, and if I can figure it out, I'm planning on revamping my MarileeDesigns site soon. Keep tuned!

What I've been working on all this time!
I've been missing in action for a while, but I HAVE been busy working on a number of projects. I hope to get to posting some of them soon. Here was one of them: illustrations for another self-published book from WinePress, "Not His Valentine".

More new books!
This is the series I was working on last summer for ABDO Publishing : "Growing Up Daisy", written by Marci Peschke. I received samples of the complete set - six books in the set, all hardcovers, to be used in schools as third grade readers. I'm very pleased with how they turned out. The writing is funny and warm, all about a Latina girl named Daisy and her family, friends, and their adventures at school.
