New book (almost) and new blog



Well, folks, because I've illustrated a book, to be launched in May (details to follow!), I've been working on a new illustration blog. I've got a start on it, and will add more over the next couple days...so if you're interested in seeing all of my illustration in one place, here's the link:

How exciting to have your first book coming out! Its so cool you got to work on a children's book while waiting for your own child as well.

I checked out your other blog too!

I love the Pippy Longstocking illustration. If you ever make prints of it, I would love to buy one!!!!! It takes me back in time to the joys of childhood.

I want an autographed copy of that book!!!
Added your new blog to my "favorite links" on my blog (if that's ok with you?).
I think so far my favorite illustration is the "Pippy Longstocking" looking one. I think you should consider selling prints (you can limit them and sign them)...I would buy one in a heartbeat!
Beautiful work! If I ever write children's books, you're hired! (If I can afford you, that is!). You have a brilliant future ahead of you.

I started to post a comment last night- but in the middle of doing so Z woke up from a nightmare!

This is so exciting! I can;t wait to purchase. I bought the Lonsome Puppy- which Z loves but I also bought one by another Japanese author/illustrator called Emily's Balloon. We have read that book 20x's a day for the past 3 days. Very simple and sweet(I love the illustrations- it won some awards in Japan) and really speaks to Z on a level she can relate to. the
author is Kamako (sp?) Sakai. If you are interested!

LOVE the chair- Flynn is going to adore it.
