Hi Deryk, and welcome to JF. Viewed your illistrations, and though I draw, I wish I could draw as good as you and others. I too write children stories in rhyme. I enjoy the challenge of trying to find that perfect fit of words, sentences, and rhythmic flow of thought. KOW - - Marti P

Hi Deryk, thanks for adding me as a friend. I think your illustrations are really suited to children's books. They are lovely and colourful and like Cheryl says, they are full of humour :)

Deryk, I love the 'Mad Cows'! You've got a great sense of humor with your work and do wonders expressing the silly side of reality. To me, this comes in handy when working with images for children -- your imagination and the ability to suspend the (accepted) practical is great!

Hi, Deryk,
I particularly like your rhino. The details and expression really bring out his character.
I wish you success with your work.

hello Deryk
nice to meet you. Thank you for stopping by to view my artwork. Ella the elephant is my latest character I am trying to depict in different settings ;-)
