Well, I just finished the interior illustrations for a chapter book I've been working on for Farrar, Strauss and Giroux by A.E. Cannon called "Chihuahua Chase". It was fun to see it come together but kind of "pull-my hair out" in the process at times. But that's how great creative work comes to be, right? In addition, I finished and turned in the illustrations for the book I wrote, "Tickle, Tickle! Itch, Twitch!" coming out in Spring 2010. I love finishing projects. I just don't love the in between sometimes.
I'm still in that "not-quite-done" phase of one more book. I have to be in the "I'm finished" phase in just 4 weeks. Whew! Time to get back to the drawing table (or the painting easel at this point).

I can hardly wait to see the book, Julie. Everyone I've shown them to love the sketches.
ReplyDeleteI think when we go on tour, I should take my newfie and you should take your berners. We could introduce them as the anti-chihuahuas.
I think that's a great idea, Ann.
ReplyDeleteWes said they're proofing the art now (printer proofs).
