Little known fact: Despite his otherwise great girth, Santa is plagued with quite the spindly, chicken legs.

The “Illustration Friday” theme for the week is skinny and, well, it’s time to break out the Santas, eh?

While gazing at herself in the mirror this morning, Henrietta was frozen with a sense of pride at being one of the rare hens with teeth.

A bit of a stretch perhaps, what with the Illustration Friday’s word of the week being “frozen.” But being a relatively new user of a Wacom tablet and playing around with Photoshop brushes, I redid an older post today. So, being quite lazy, figured heck, why not post this… heh!

Constantly looking over here shoulder, Zeldalina was more concerned about where she’d been than where she actually was at the moment. A tad hazardous while flitting around on a broom, wouldn’t you say?

So our lesson for the day is what?
Our lesson for the day is: Live in the moment… or end up as a Halloween decoration, wrapped around your neighbor’s tree.

The end.

… of an idea.

I finally got one, at the very last minute!

The Illustration Friday word of the week is “germ”.

With the Halloween season fast approaching, fraught with witch, ghost and goblin air traffic, Villiam is reluctantly forced into a holding pattern.

Happy October to everyone! The Illustration Friday word for the week is “pattern” and I’m just making it under the vire.

With a strong will you can accomplish just about anything.

The Illustration Friday theme for this week is strong.

Please cover your mouth
whenever you sneeze.

You know not what lurks
within that breeze.

Ever have one of those days?

The Illustration Friday theme for this week is “idle”, and I have to say, these dog days of summer, when temperatures rise to triple digits, tend to leave one in somewhat of an idle stupor. However, I managed to shake loose from my torpor for a moment in order to reintroduce these little chickadees. 

Of course, last time I posted these hot chicks, I got some… shall we say… interesting hits on my blog.

Go figure.

So, I finally swallowed hard and registered for the SCBWI conference next week in L.A. It’ll be my first time attending and I have to admit, I’m a wee bit nervous. But it should be informative, inspiring and fun, especially if some of my blogging buddies happen to be there. So, are any of you wonderful, talented people headed that way on August 7th? Let me know. It would be fun to meet up!

Grammy Matilda had spent a whole lifetime never having visited the ocean. In fact, there were a great many things she had never experienced, including the tango.

Today was going to be a day of firsts… and tonight… tango lessons.
