Rainy Sunday

"Chadder Box the Clown". Pen, brush and ink on paper. 8 1/2"x11".


This weekend has been a rainy one. The rain hasn't been hard but it's been pouring steadily most of the day. Given the soggy weather most of the day's activities were limited to the indoors although we managed to take our easily excitable dog, Sally, for a walk, took the kids to audition for the "Nutcracker" ballet (They made it!) and will end the day with some drawing. Whew!

Pictured above is artwork for Chad Miller's business card and coloring page for his clown work as "Chadder Box". I didn't know why he wanted to reproduce the drawing on his card but it ended up looking o.k. Go figure.

I got the official "okey dokey" from the Southwest Texas branch of the Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Society to be on their email group. I got to check out some links they had to some writer's blogs so the learning process has begun. The next step is to make it to their next meeting. I'm very excited. This calls for a Little Debbie snack cake. Yummy! Got to go for now. I'm getting ready to start my next Lord of the Rings illustration. Buenas noches.
