Illustration Friday: Ahead

In other news, a very lovely blogger, Stine, blogged about the last book I did for a publishing company in Norway. If you want to see what it looks like printed up, check out her blog. (My book is the one with all the birds). Unfortunately I never received copies of the book. :(

Illustration Friday: Detective

This is an illo I did for a girl's tween magazine a few months back for their health and body questions. Hopefully it came through as humorous and understandable.

If anyone has been following Sam the greyhound's story on my blog, he is now in his forever home and I am extremely happy and grateful to Claire Sygiel and the rescue group Greyhound Options for making this happen. Finding a home for rescue's is like detective work in itself. I wish all animals could have such a happy ending.

Lastly, this past Saturday I went to Books of Wonder for the 'Kids and Comics' event and to pick up a copy of my friend, Mike Cavallaro's, latest book Foiled.

Illustration Friday: Dip

My greyhound, Beatrix, loves taking dips in the ocean. She runs, frolics, and plops down for a good sit in the cool Long Island Sound. She constantly reminds me to cherish the small joys in life; dogs are like that.

Illustration Friday: Rescue

If you have been reading my blog you already know that I rescued two greyhounds, Georgia the brindle grey and Beatrix the red fawn grey. They both raced down in Florida; a state full of racetracks sad to say. But luckily there are some fantastic groups such as the one I got both my greys from that go down and rescue greyhounds off the tracks. Greyhounds are extraordinarily gentle, sweet and loving dogs that love a good couch and a nice treat. Mine happen to not have any prey drive, but it is an issue with some due to the way they were trained. If you are looking for a 45 mile per hour couch potato look no further than a greyhound. Rescue a dog and you'll have a friend for life.
