Sneak Peak for page 1


I'm showing a little tiny piece of page 1 of the book I'm illustrating right now for a lovely family in Virginia. I don't dare show the entire picture, for that's between the author(family) and I. I don't need any steeling going on like what happened to me off my own website last year. i thought this sweet little rabbit would be perfect! Well...it's Monday night and my evening is full of illustrating...of course after my motherly duties are over.

Busy is the WoRd!


Hello again.....I'm back. Not that I meant to be gone anyway, but I've been devoting my time to massive orders of painting and I'm illustrating a children's book. Above is the storyboard for it. And I've also been just busy with life in general. I honestly think this has been my busiest year between my kids and my work. I guess that truly means my business is growing :). This is the last week of school with my kiddos and I can't wait for the stress relief. As your kids get older...it's true, you stress more and about everything. My oldest is going into High School next year and just the thought of college right now makes my stomach turn. My boys are very good students, and in advanced classes...I stress success a lot to them. I actually fed that into there brains at an early age...and it shows. I'll be back in a couple of days to post again...I promise...lots to share. Have a great day-Marnie V.
