The last few weeks I’ve been racing toward my deadline with Little Giggles Press for the illustrations for “The Shopkeepers Bear”. I just finished and wrapped them all up and sent them off to the Publisher. It’s been such a fun project to work on having her adorable little bear smile (or should I say big bear smile, since she’s not really that small!) staring up at me from the pages on my drawing board. And I’ve had such a good time working with her author Janie DeVos and Editor Pat McGrath Avery. But I’m excited to finally send her off for the next step in her journey and then in November finally get to see her in print! Just as a teaser I though you all might like to get a peek inside our newest book, but keep and eye on my blog because we’re just getting started on our next book which I’m SO excited to be illustrating!

I’ve bee having fun each with with my new daily faces exercises. Not all of them come out beautiful but I love some of their adorable expressions and I’m learning more each day as I play with more and more expressions and emotions without erasing my mistakes. I hope you all enjoy seeing them progress also.
