Miranda Mummy groaned in despair…
“When I open my coffin, I’ve nothing to wear!”
Then she looked in her mirror and said with a pause….
“Does my bottom look bigger when wrapped up in gauze?”
Her very best ghoul friend knew just the right trick.
“I’ll pull on this string and you’ll soon look less thick….”
……. OOPS!

On October 19-20, I went to the workshop, “The Exquisite Act of Balancing Text and Art with Richard Jesse Watson.” hosted the SCBWI SWTX chapter.
In the weeks prior to attending the workshop the attendees where given an assignment. We were asked to illustrate a paradigm shift featuring the beloved A. A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh characters.
Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the Everywhere and into here.

I’ve been working a lot on middle grade art lately. I really like the preteen quirkiness, but baby books are fun to draw too.
So I’ve decided to also build up my younger portfolio as well.
Basically… I like to work in all areas.
Stay tuned!
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. ~ Ben Franklin
