Color me Merry

  Gee whiz.  I forgot about you all.  Had company this weekend and completely 
forgot my blog post.  Besides going nuts decorating for halloween I am thinking
Christmas thoughts.  Maybe I mentioned I am doing a Christmas craft show 
in November.  To summon up the spirit I leafed through my holiday files to 
find some cutesy little elves to inspire me.  (Sorry for the iphone quality, 
my scanner finked out on me.) I had done these elves a few years 
ago and think they have some potential.  My daughter colored and added the 
sweet words.  They inspired a coloring page I finished Wednesday.  I 
submitted it for consideration for a coloring book project.


Really excited to have found this fun site (via twitter @doodlers) called http://www.doodlersanonymous.com.  They print these incredible coloring 
books that include the work of 60 different artists. Not sure about
their "sharing policy" so I will hold off until I know if my 
illustration is selected.  Better safe than sorry.  
You should definitely check out the books they have out now, four I think so far.   
They also started a collection of drawn Netflix envelopes on Tumblr that 
are so neat.  http://doodleflix.tumblr.com  I don't have a Tumblr 
account but was so inspired by this and the most current 
movie I rented. Just for fun mind you.



If you have not seen My Neighbor Totoro and you love cute, strange,
awesome Japanese animation you must check it out.  Directed by 
Hayao Miyazaki who also directed Kiki's Delivery Service.
Have an inspired week!
