Cleaning up the community

Here's a sketch from the kid's book. It's of Nola Star and Bertha Bear helping to clean up the community. I left room for text in the top left corner.

Our Elopement

I took the day off yesterday. I didn't go to my day job and I didn't work on the paintings for my book. Instead, Dario and I went to the park by our house and eloped.
We had a very small and simple ceremony, just he and I and a couple witnesses. I chose my best friend, Erin Horne, and Dario picked his childhood friend from Montreal, Andrew Stevens.

Here are a few pictures that Andrew took after the ceremony.











Erin made us these one-of-a-kind wedding bands. We love them - they're exactly what we wanted. You can't really see the detail in this photo, but the rings are textured and have some blackened areas. They're really cool. Thanks Erin.

Now I'm back to working on the children's book. I'll post some more sketches soon.

This illo is a 2 page spread for the children's book. There will be text on the bottom left side on the grassy hill and on the right side in the sky.

Here's another sketch for the children's book I'm working on. There will be text at the bottom, under the flowers.

Miss Flannigan's classroom

This sketch will have quite a bit of text on it: the top left corner, the chalkboard and above the students' heads. I think Miss Flannigan needs some eyelashes and an eyebrow and I'm going to try another hairstyle on the moose.
