This is an illustration for a children’s book that I am illustrating for a friend. It is a really cute story about Christmas.
I posted some rough sketches for this a while ago, but I am finally starting to work on some of the finished illustrations (between everything else that I am doing). Painting isn’t one of my strong points, but I would really like to get batter at it, so hopefully when this book is finished, I will have gotten better, and the pictures won’t suck too much.
that’s very nice Blair…very sweet. can’t wait to see more.
B-man, I think this is a charming painting. Look forward to seeing more!
It’s almost too cute!
I’m gonna agree with Vi here.. it’s “almost” too cute.
*If they get any cuter.. i may have to shoot myself! 😉
But not before i pre-order this soon-to-be children’s book HIT!

If you’re quick, you can get it done for APE!
Mike: I’ll be lucky to get it done for next year’s APE. I envy people who only have 1 job.
Everyone else: Thanks guys. This will get done eventually, because I have someone who wrote it asking me every couple of months how it is coming, and I feel guilty if I don’t have anything else done. Besides….. I would really like to finish it for myself too………. eventually.
[…] OK. Nap time is over. Besides working my full time job on Wayside, I’ve got a million other things on the go. Of course, I have to get going on The Possum #3 comic, as well as continue with this childrens book I started illustrating for a friend. (I’ve been putting this off for too long). I was also asked to contribute a few pages to an anthology comic being put out by the fine folks at the Indie Spinner Rack, and the deadling for that is April 1st. I’m going to be putting in a 2 page Possum story that was posted here a while back, but I have to add panels, and modify it to fit a comic book format. The anthology comic is going to debut at the Small Press Expo in October, in Maryland. Before I get The Possum #2 back from the printers, I have to update my website and store, and work on getting this thing distributed, as well. APE is also coming up soon! Oh, and we’re getting ready to sell our town house and move to something a bit bigger. (decluttering, putting things in storage, looking at houses etc.) […]
