boredom = snakes

i've been noticed lately, that when i'm bored or restless, i end up drawing snakes. or variations on one snake in particular, Tobey. he's a personal favorite from the "Bludo and Friends" gang and he just seems to pop up more and more. perhaps, i'm on a mission to change the world's view of serpents or maybe he just makes me happy.

next week i'll be working to prepare some drawings to accompany my 2 latest children's book stories.
i've been hard at work all year on "Carla's Crab" and "Jungle Jam!" which have each been through my writing critique group twice now. both are stories i'm really pleased with. i've got a meeting with a few editors coming up in a few weeks as part of my affiliation with CBIG (nyc's Children's Book Illustrator Group).
