It’s not what you think. If you want to think that, though, I don’t mind because it would be funny. To me. Anyway.
SOB stands for Successful Outstanding Blogger. Liz Strauss is the brilliant mind behind it.
If you visit the web site and look at the A-Z directory you’ll discover (as I did) that I’m in some very good company. These people are just awesome at what they do; communicating, connecting, and sharing information with their readers and the entire interwebbery of cool people.
So when you see that little SOB badge in the sidebar over there, you know what it’s all about.
Thank you, Liz! I hope I continue to live up to the SOB name.
Also, you should check out the excellent event that Liz has created called SOBCon. It’s a biz school for bloggers and it looks very exciting.
Just as I decided to pack it in for the night and wait on Libsyn support to punch-in on Monday morning, I noticed that the support tech had logged in to the Libsyn live (Meebo) service on their support site. I nabbed the guy as quickly as I could and explained the upload problem I’ve been having. He contacted the server team and they discovered a disk error and fixed it right away.
Because Libsyn service rocks, the Jane Ray interview will be published on schedule.
Thanks, Libsyn!

As she looked BACKWARDS over her shoulder Paulette saw the stunned and surprised looks on her parents' faces. As she fell further and further into the foaming sea, she hollered BACKWARDS over the waves, " Don't worry! I'm sure I'll wash up somewhere!"
Finding no comfort in her words, her bereft parents furiously untangled their fishing nets and cast them into the sea in a desperate effort to snare their fast disappearing daughter. Alas, they unfurled them BACKWARDS, and Paulette disappeared beneath the waves.
However, she did wash up on shore, kiddies, and can be found (quite well and happy and also very very clean!) in another Illustration Friday theme...to be announced.

Here's another new one for the montly challenge.It's approximately 3-1/2" x 5-5/8" on watercolor paper...a mixed media painting with acrylics, water soluble artist crayons, artist pencil, ink, & collage. It's titled "Hold On To Bliss".

And one more...8"x10" on canvas panel titled "Time Flies...Hold On".
Thanks so much to all of you left comments on my first post the other day and those who have visited my blog and/or website! I really appreciate all the art love! :)

Hey ya'll! I just discovered this blog yesterday and it seemed like it would be fun to participate. :) Since I haven't had a chance to work on the weekly challenge yet, I thought I'd post a painting I finished a couple of days ago. It's approximately 6"x8" on watercolor paper...a mixed media painting with acrylics, water soluble artist crayons, artist pencil, ink, & collage. It's titled "Crossroads".
wonderful....so full of movement and the color is wonderful too....I like the story that accompanies the art.
Whoa....that was a nail-biter!! I'm glad she's okay. I'm looking forward to the rest of the story :)
waiting for next wonderful part...
that is good news
OOO nice teaser for the next illo! I love it! Great story to go with your piece!
Really pretty illo!
Really nice illo, but I love the story you build on it and on the word :D

So did the sea creatures help or hinder Paulette's aquatic adventure? I love it, great job.
Great illo, Ginger, such great movement all around. A bit scary too, isnt it? I can't wait to see what happens next. :-)
Excellent! I'm enchanted! I think you must be very happy being a childrens book illustrator!
