Barb is Back

Previously Barb asked me to do an illustration for her blog. She came back to me with a request for doodling something for her web page: Barb's Create a Book. This is the design I drew without the text that she asked me to add. I had quite a time getting that part just right for her.

I had an evern more difficult time getting the designed e-mailed to her. Part of my problem, I think, was that I added the text in another program that I am comfortable using, and some how that program turned the whole design into a file that was too large to send by the usual methods.

You need to go to her web page to see the completed illustration. For some reason, when I tried to post that version here it appeared as a negative, reversing the colors. I tried it three different times with the same results. I don't understand why.

So, Barb, the "demons" in this drawing are still there. I can't explain it. It's the drawing that has fought us all the way.

Rick, that is a fantastic illustration! I think it's my favorite of everything you've done so far. I'm so sorry you had such trouble, but it was definitely worth the effort.

Cute stuff! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I grew up in Oregon! My family still lives there and I visit yearly.
Anyway-just thought I'd say g'day!
Don't be a stranger!

I love your work too. Someday when I get some extra cash I want you to do an illustration for my blog. Someday. sigh. I love Dawn's picture, and this one is really good, too. Once again, sigh. Oh, I enjoyed the poop story. I have often wondered how in the world my 2-year-old and 4-year-old have so much poop in them when they don't actually eat anything.

To Janet: Your might be surprized at how cheaply I can be bought.

love this one and super excited that I found eggy. I still can't find him on the dragon sketch though and it's really eating at me, I become obsessed with these things, I'm off to try again :)
