And of Course… Eye of Newt
A light bulb moment at 5:00 in the morning… do I get up and draw it right now, or go back to sleep.Well… I didn’t get up, and I didn’t go back to sleep either!
There was no sleeping until Ruby got the new direction she was asking for.
Don’t you hate it… and love it when this happens!!!!

Ruby Rue Sketches
I have a little character named Ruby Rue that I put up for an IF post way back when….. anyhoo… she comes with a poem that explains her predicament. She’s one of my favorites!
I’ve decided to dust her off and expand the poem to fit in a dummy book.
Here are a few of the many preliminary sketches of her!

Illustration Friday! ~ Deja-vu
“I’m almost certain I left it in here. I came in.. sat down to knit… heard the tea kettle whistle… and the phone rang. At least… I think I did…”
Have you noticed that Mathilda seems completely unaware
Of the growing menagerie in the hollows of her hair?
The chihuahua has gone missing, we can’t find him anywhere!
“He isn’t lost… just put away… on the left, behind my ear.”

Illustration Friday Phenomenom
OK…. so you know the phenomena thing, where Santa lays a finger “aside of his nose,” gives a nod and up the chimney he goes…. Well I think it works in reverse too…. down the chimney he goes! Only this time, it seems to have a bug in it. Poor Santa! Too many Christmas cookies… He’s stuck tight. There’s no budging old Kris Kringle!
Shoot… and I’ve been a pretty good girl too…. Guess I’ll go call the Effective Liberating Flight Squad or E.L.F.S. as they like to be called.
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight!
