Possible self portrait.

A new self portrait I'm thinking of putting onto my site.  Any responses?

Butler Man in the fall.

Butler is loving the weather all over again.  Cold mornings and piles of colorful leaves everywhere.  Play, Butler, play!

Highlights for Children illustrators weekend. Walk in the woods at founder's homestead.

Recently attended the illustrator's party at Highlights for Children in Honesdale, PA.  Though I have some great photos of my fellow illustrators, I'm posting a few pic's from the walk I took through the wooded area of the property.  Just teeming with life and death.

Good news!  My book "Sheila Says We're Weird" has just won a Skipping Stones Honor Award from Skipping Stones Magazine, a multicultural publication for children.  This is it's second award.  I'm so proud that the book is doing so well, which is mostly due to the wonderful author, Ruth Ann Smalley and our publisher, Tilbury House, Publishers.  Congratulations and thank you to everyone that worked on the project!

"Honoring books that promote an understanding of cultures, cultivate cooperation and encourage a deeper understanding of the world's diversity, ecological richness, respect for multiple viewpoints and close relationships within human societies."

I like this illo.  I'm not asked to show subtle sadness/disappointment very often.

Highlights Founder's Workshop - "Butler in Spring"

Every spring my tricolor border collie turns completely brown down in the swampy waters that feed into the Mississippi.  Happy feet!

Butler in Winter

Pen on typing paper. Board stiff.

Had some time on my hands, some typing paper in my bag and a fountain pen. I might expand on the dog theme. Butler is a very talented creature.

In Love

A new piece.

Butler's first day home.

To whomever this picture is copyrighted to, thanks. And thanks to Patrick for the lift on a crappy day.

Here we are again. Yeah, PBAA!

Some fellow PBAAer's. I was in the loo I guess.

We're too sexy for this ranch.
