Mischievous Elves Capture Rudolph!

I know it's a bit early for Christmas stuff but this

is that illustration I mentioned (Color Me Merry) doing 

for the  http://www.doodlersanonymous.com

coloring book.  They had over a thousand

submissions and unfortunately mine didn't make

the cut.  No regrets, these elves were really fun to draw!
I used a vintage calligraphy pen and ink.
Stressful, but worth it.
I only spilled a
tiny bit of ink... 

Tried to download as a pdf so my blog readers

could print and color but when I tried to upload it 

gave an error message.  You have my permission to

print the jpg if the quality is okay for your little ones 

(or yourself) to color for fun.

Just registered for a SCBWI picture book workshop! 

Lindsay Ward (writer/illustrator of the 

awesome When Blue Met Egg!) and writer 

Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton (Why Cowboys Sleep 

With Their Boots On) have teamed up

to create a Picture Book Workout Workshop!

This is just what I need to give me that 

little push!  I have had the honor to meet and 

attend workshops by both Laurie and Lindsay.   

They are both very informative and fun.

I can't wait for this event. 

Very excited to be working on several

projects I can't mention right now.  

Tune in next week for a glimpse!
