Children's Potty Training Books

Here are two children's books I was working on earlier this year, they are being released January 1st 2010 you can pre-order Princess Potty here or Pirate Potty here.
I have to say I LOVED working on them, both stories are written by the super talented Samantha Berger & are very fun, I know both the parents and the kids are going to find them totally entertaining.

Illustration Friday - Caution

Please be super cautious when you are in the Austrian Alps, my dear goat friend loves to ride his sled super super fast, everybody and everything rushes out of his way.
Wishing you all a lovely relaxing weekend, one where you don't have to be super cautious!

Sweet little dish

I went out thrifting the other day and found this sweet little dish for a bargain 50 cents, I love the yellow and the pretty delicate flowers.

Illustration Friday - Wrapped

Giraffe and Kitty were the best of friends so Giraffe wrapped a special gift and delivered it to his dear sweet little friend, she was very happy.
This is a birthday card I designed for Madison Park.

It's Friday all of a sudden and today is our 5th Anniversary!!!
I think we may celebrate in our usual fashion by going for a bicycle ride.
Have a soopa doopa wonderful lovely weekend everyone.

pretty type

.....remember the piece I did for Kiwi Magazine, this is the title page I did to go with it.
I have always loved drawing type by hand so I was only too pleased when I got asked to do this.

It's so so hot here right now, which I love, I just wish it was a little less sticky!
Hope you are all keeping cool or warm, depending on where you are!

Illustration Friday - impatience

Lulu grew incredibly impatient as she tried and tried to pitch her cute pink tent.
Steve and I can get like this when we are on our road trips we can't wait to pitch the tent so we can go and hike to the top of the nearest mountain!
(I know I have posted this before but it fit so perfectly for this weeks theme).

Its supposed to be really hot and sticky this weekend, so I will be really patient and eat lots of watermelon and drink lots of water!

Happy Happy weekend everyone.
