Okay, so maybe “professional” implies a little more than what’s really going on here, but I am getting paid to illustrate a book. That’s professional, right? Anyway, enough with the semantics. A lovely lady who I performed theater with in college has commissioned me to illustrate a book she wrote for her boyfriend from their dog. It’s a super-cute story, and I wish I could share it all with you right now, but it’s still a surprise! I’m sure I’ll divulge all later, so stay tuned. And I bought those Wacom tablets just in time! I’ve been able to do every step from sketching to coloring so quickly with those things. I love it!

So for now, I’ll leave you with a teaser.

Don’t worry about this pup. She’s not really as sad as she looks. ;o)

She works hard for the money,
