Good luck everyone! And THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU so very much for all of your wonderful comments to date. You are all helping me in my quest (becoming a children's book illustrator)...I'm very happy that you have taken your time to stop by and comment...I truly appreciate it. 

All is beautiful in sunny California right now - hope everyone's having a wonderful summer so far!

  2. Thanks so much for your nice comments on my illustration friday art. I've since finished the color version you can see it here... http://purposeonpaper.blogspot.com/

    As for your work, I am very impressed and think your work is very good. A few years ago when I first started doing illustration, I read a really great article by a children's illustrator named Holli Conger. She basically detailed everything she did to get her career in motion, and now she is very successful at it. Although I'm not a children's illustrator a lot of her advice worked for me too. Here's a link to what she wrote and her website.

    Hopefully this helps you like it did for me. Keep up the great work!
