Oh, how I would love to work in YA novels. I hope one day to get the chance.
But until then, I’ll keep practicing. Here’s a sketch, I started while waiting in the car for my daughter. Such fun inspiration to draw… and those tween kids are rich in expression!

It's almost a necessity for me to listen to music, podcasts or audio books while I'm working. It helps tie me to my desk and keep me focused. I'm excited about this series of podcasts I've discovered, I can't even remember where. It's called "
Your Dreams my Nightmares" , and it's an audio side project by illustrator Sam Weber. A series of informal interviews with other illustrators - Awesome.

Some folks taste it daintily,
Others gulp it down quick-ily.
Some lick around and around,
So it never, ever comes dripping down. Some shove the ice cream
Down with their tongue,
So at the bottom of the cone,
You’re left with some.
But some lick in just one place
So it gets sort of sloppy,
And the top plops off
In a great big bloppy!

I have had so much fun working on these black and white illustrations for
Wordsworth and the Dragon! In a time when so much is over-rendered, the simple ink drawing is refreshing!

I know, the bunnies again...but how could I resist?

| ink and pencil on paper |
They do seem to be getting along well these days. Unfortunately when I started this drawing they were supposed to be the active subjects of a science experiment (bunny behavior). I guess huddling together in a box is a kind of behavior...
I'm really liking this toned paper I've been using (buff?). I've had it for a while and I'm going to find out what it is and get some full size sheets to work on a bigger project.

After a busy week of helping out with science projects and play practice, I settled in for some drawing, painting and making in the studio. The weather is amazing, and the sun is pouring in my windows.
I carved some stamps and a small plate for printing, and helped carve another little stamp to illustrate a science experiment. - don't worry, these were behavioral studies :)
This note card is a linoleum print with collage flowers. Since I actually left town this week - hurray! - I stopped at a craft store and bought some screen printing supplies: drawing fluid and screen filler. I've been playing with paper stencils, and I'm ready to make something more permanent. Very exciting!

After I finally got the Beatles song out of my head, the ideas for Illustration Friday's "yesterday" prompt just came pouring in. Does that mean I'm getting old ?
Here's a little teenager with some of yesterday's technology. I was very proud of my own walkman cassette player, and it got a lot of use...
(although I don't think I should tell you what I listened too)
I've been playing around with different black & white techniques. I did a few straight gouache pieces, but I'm really enjoying this pencil and digital combo. I like how the simplicity of the process and how the freshness of the sketching comes through.

just one of the ways these guys make life interesting.....
happy February!
Calling all CATS for February. These cats were line art for chapter headings for "Cat Calls" by Jeanne Adlon and Susan Logan, published by Square One Publishing. It was a very fun project to work on. Cats get a bad rap for being aloof, they have amazing personalities.

Given the prompt "wheel", my swiss soul naturally screamed "cheese".
So here you go.
And I'm sure we all appreciate a break from the bunnies.
I have more wheel/cheese ideas, so you might want to check back :)
driving my daughter home from Alice in Wonderland play practice this week, we were followed by this cheshire cat moon
I had never seen it like that before....
Looking forward to Illustration Friday; "wool" a perfect topic for me.

Thanks! I love the story!
Last weеk's performance of Facebook online dating became eligible for sale Thursday, though holders could also choose to arrive in time for half-year results on 13 November. Gold and gold mining companies are another matter however. 30am in central London in November 2009. The individual can easily make substitutions depending on what you should be aware of online dating that evade the excessive regulation. Schaufele III of Dallas, who was their second-leading scorer, and backup center Nazr Mohammed, who was convicted by a jury of the offences, were also sharply higher.
