For as long as I can remember, I've been wanting to illustrate children's book. I have been active in the past sending my art to various publishing companies, but I didn't have much success. Granted - I feel I didn't do enough research and perhaps some of the work I mailed out, has not been geared towards what they publish. Perhaps now, with the knowledge that I've got, I'd have a better shot at it - then again maybe not.

Whatever the case is, I decided to take matter into my own hands, and create something from start to finish on my own. Therefore, my current project is working on a children's book, featuring Frankie, Bob the octopus (who has hijacked my journal few times in the past ) Sophie, and a cast of characters that you had no chance to meet yet.



I do have ideas, but don't really consider myself a writer. I hope though, that I'll be able to polish the stories, so that they won't make you want to gauge your eyes out as you read them! (or perhaps the illustrations will make up for it)

With help of my husband I was able to set a pretty ambitious schedule for myself. (most of which includes work related to the book, and then some that centers on building up my portfolio before upcoming conventions)

What this means, is that someday (hopefully in not too distant future) you'll be able to purchase a children's book by yours truly On the downside it will hinder my plans to re-open personal commissions. However, if sometime in the past you inquired about one, I may contact you when you least expect it and ask if you are still interested. It may not be anytime soon - chances are you won't know who I am anymore by that time, but hopefully that won't be the case.

I think this is starting to diverge into rambling, so...


Wish me luck!
