I'm so happy to say hello, again! My name is Gina Perry and I love to illustrate children's books! And since we all said farewell last January, I've become a mother - to a now 1yr old boy. I spend even more time looking at picture books, and with a really good little critic to make me think differently about images, page turns, reading aloud, etc. I may not be showing as much new work as reviewing books, but I hope you'll enjoy my posts all the same.
The above illustration also fits this week's IF theme of propagate, no?

My name is Becca and I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a illustrator/ pop culture junkie who wishes to be whisked away in the TARDIS by the 9th Doctor, approves of William Shatner’s singing career, adores Bettie Page & admires Isaac Asimov’s wit.
Here's a sample of my work:
You can see more of my art stuffs at my blog No Smoking in the Skullcave (I'll warn you though it's not always safe for work :)
Nice to meet you all!

Hilarious! Recently a large, attractive, black man from Senegal asked me the time on my way home from school one day. We chatted a bit in his broken English. Then he asked me for my phone number saying “I like older women” Funny
Lol! Cougar:) Yesterday i was on the Venice Boardwalk. Chillin’ watching the kids skate, muscle beach. I headed over to do a little shopping. A guy with a table full of crazy painted skulls caught my eye [a-la day of the dead skulls]. I spent a really long time trying to figure out which one a I wanted. It was tough. There were so many, maybe forrty, maybe more. Then my new buddy, Oscar, came up and introduced himself. Asked where I was from. He picked one up and said this one is the one. And I held it. I disagreed. But he was into it. So were his friends. I finally found the right skull. I wanted the most Venice one out of the bunch….
