ANIMAL SOUND MIX-UP


Connie Arnold's new book is close to its release date. Animal Sound Mix-up tells why each animal sounds the way they do. Such fun animals for me to draw. Books like this make me so aware of why I do what I do and love it.

One More Promo Piece Added


Added this one final piece to my Illustration Promo Packet.
Research shows editors would like to see in your portfolio, that you can take a character throughout your book. Since I have been fortunate to have a few books published, I am using this page as an example. But if you do not have books out, don't worry, you can work up a dummy showing that you can manipulate your character.
