IF: Strong
Well, I did not get too much when thinking about strength. I guess I haven’t had much of my own lately. This little guy has taken on some little pine cones. That takes guts and gusto.

IF: Hollow
It was all the rage, that hollow hair. You should try it. Once your hair is hollow you can put all sorts of things in it.
My first attempt at an illustration done in Photoshop. It was a nice experience…all 60 minutes of it. Usually it would take me a couple of nights after the kids [...]
IF-shaky
I drew her a while ago…probably after looking at Benjamin Lacombe’s amazing and aww inspiring images. She looks frail. She probably doesn’t eat much and she likes to stay up late, in very expensive clothing.
IF: Unfold

recently, work wise.
Folks, I need about 20 more hours in my day. Everyone can relate I’m sure. I have been drawing/painting everyday even if I have to force it. I haven’t had time to do any sewing because my focus is on building my portfolio. Here’s a couple of things that are awaiting my attention…I am just [...]
Whoa…it’s MO!
Drum roll please.
Yeah that’s right kids it’s Mo Willems. The genius author/illustrator of such characters as Pigeon, Elephant and Piggy, Leonardo, Knuffle Bunny, Edwina and the most recent addition: Naked Mole Rat. He was right here in St. Louis for a book signing extravaganza. It was a huge turn out but I [...]
It’s been a while…
Someone turned three! Ava was so excited to go to her “princess party” she could hardly stand it. A good fancy time was had by all…
A fan of all things pink, fluffy, adorned and fancy.
