Flipper Fins - Illo #16

I have started painting on a new children's book (0-3) that I wrote over the Thanksgiving break. Flipper Fins is a story about a mother sea turtle who comes ashore to lay her eggs in the sand and then she returns to the water. After a few months, the eggs crack open and the baby sea turtles make a dash for the waters edge.

This book will be sold on Amazon for Kindle and Barnes & Noble for Nook. I hope to release it Summer 2012.  Stay tuned for more illustrations from the book Flipper Fins.

I want a hippo for Christmas!

Psst! It's all about the baby!

To Jesus' crib we go!

Ivy May Character drawing

I may have mentioned something about starting to write a children's book several months ago. I am finished with my manuscript and now I am in the character development stage. I just wanted to show this as I am beginning to make some great strides in learning more about my character, Ivy May.

I will be starting a series of blog posts detailing my experience through this whole process. This is the first book that I have worked on of my own material. It's been fun, exciting, frustrating .... well, a whole learning experience I can't wait to talk about shortly!

Blessings in your endeavors!
