Story by you

I'm always trying to spend more time doing illustrations. I have a goal of illustrating a children's book every year, even if it is just something I have written, or a friend has written. If anyone has something they want to submit, I'd love to see what ideas my friends/family have. I'll pick one to illustrate and try sending it to some publishers. In case you want to send me something but don't have anything written right now, I'll wait for a month or so before choosing. Email me at: theillustrator at gmail dot com. You don't need to separate it into pages, just send the text all together.

Here are some hints of what type of books I typically prefer: short, rhyming is always fun, silly
ie: sandra boynton, mo willems

Also, my website is currently being updated but you are welcome to visit my facebook page. It wouldn't hurt if I had more fans :)

kitchen project

We've been painting our kitchen & cabinets the past couple of weeks and here are the results:
(we didn't really take "before" pictures, but these are from when we moved in, so... it's "before")

We have a mudroom in progress. This coat rack area was covered with piles of shoes & it looked like a tacky closet without a door on it. stay tuned....
 Also, while we're doing before & after, here is Calvin:
