One more Christmas card...

I should have started these back in July! Anyway, this is the last new one for this year. I have to work on Thanksgiving dinner for my whole extended family now!

Halloween to ... Christmas already!!

I'm working on Christmas cards already... actually, I should have started on them in July. Seems like Christmas comes faster and faster every year!

Halloween is coming!

What I'm working on...

A new story by a self-publisher about a stuffed mouse sent to a US soldier in Afghanistan for Christmas. Here's a first sketch of one of the illustrations.

Here's the new image I'm sending out on my fall promo postcards...

New Book!

I just received copies of my latest book published by Sterling: "Animal Friends", a Hide and Seek Puzzle Book. These are fun scenes of different pets, farm animals, and wild animals, with all kinds of objects hidden throughout.

My favorite puzzle: the Slithering Snakes one, because I used my daughter Laura and her pet snake, Phil, as models!

And finished!
