Taking it Outside!

Hi folks. Just a quick blog post to share a little with you about what has been happening! First of all, I have finished the work for a picture book proposal titled "Take it Outside". "Take it Outside" begins when our hero boy wakes early on a summer morning with a hankering for the clean open air and asks us, "Who's ever heard of the 'Great Indoors'?" What follows is a rhyming rollick through field, wood and stream in which a trio of siblings meets adventure on the open path. They'll find curious animal tracks on the stream banks and watch beetles march a parade on an old rotted log.

I am currently querying literary agents and hoping to find a happy home for the book! In the meantime, enjoy a couple samples of the work...



While "Take it Outside" is looking for representation, I plan to shift gears a little and produce a series of illustrations for sale as prints. I'll be opening an online store when the time comes and you can be sure you'll be the first to hear about it! Until then, thank you for reading!
