The nice thing about having three freelance projects going at one time plus 2 more on the waiting list is that when I am at work at the dayjob, I have something to keep my mind out of where I am and how much I hate it there. Instead, I am completely preoccupied with emailing [...]

Is it too good to be true?

September 23, 2004

I got an email and a voicemail from my favorite young author yesterday, Katrina Martin Davenport (aka Feisty), announcing very good news.

September 9, 2004

Ok ok, here’s a sneak peak at your future dessert plates–just little snippets of the illos I’ve done. Can’t put the whole things up since they’re not in production yet. But you get the idea. There will be washes of color when I get to it. This is different from my usual “book” style, but [...]

*Inhale*
*Exhale*
*Repeat*
The doggie dessert plate project had me up til 2am last night, and I still didn’t get as much done as I’d wished. But what I did get done, I submitted, and I am happy to report that everyone is happy. Including me. It feels so good to draw something and have someone actually like [...]
