FUN SURPRISE!
I just recieved a copy of Rising Moon's spring catalog and there, on the cover, was one of my illustrations----pulled right from the pages of Hey Diddle Diddle! To see more about Hey Diddle Diddle, as well as the other fine books published by Rising Moon, go to www.risingmoonbooks.com.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: THANKSGIVING
This is one of those subjects I just happened to have a bit to choose from....namely my book The Turkey Ball ( written by David Steinberg, 2006 Price Stern Sloan). This is the final spread...those crazy party animals....errrrr, birds.....after a night dancing their tail feathers off at the Turkey Ball! ....or are they just happy to have made it to the dance floor instead of the table??!!! Oooooo....that's just gross.....

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: SMITTEN
I did this one a while back for an SCBWI valentine poster contest. Based on my favorite book growing up, Charlotte's Web, I decided to flip flop roles and titled this one "Chuck's Web." Ahhhh.....amore.....

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: TROUBLE
I call this one DOUBLE TROUBLE. Twins Tim and Tom are at a picnic. While Tim is having trouble, his brother Tom is busy making trouble. Which is which? I think mom knows.........

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: QUIET
The very definition of QUIET was how my giant of a father could soundlessly float up a set of hardwood stairs, and catch us in the act each and every time. ( because we, of course, were being so quiet ourselves.....)

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: MATCH
Here I am with my studio-mates, Gus, Max and Dillon.
I'm the one who doesn't match.

PJ CLIMBED UP AND FOUND AN ALL-STAR RIGHT FIELDER!

THIRD PLACE

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: PLAY

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: CAPTURE
Our cat, Max, spends his sunny summer days outside terrorizing and capturing all small crawly things that dare cross his path. I often wondered what would happen if some brave creature decided to exact his revenge......

SPOTLIGHT ON HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE
A fun little board book for those of you from the desert Southwest....or those of you wanting to introduce your toddlers to a rather whimsical look at the different flora and fauna of that region. Here's a glimpse inside of this creative adaptation of the well-know nursery rhyme.
