Just wanted to post some fresh stuff for the New Year.
One is a cookbook cover for a children's cook book.
The other is for a new book. Hope you all are off to

    Oh, how I love it when you post new artwork. Love the vest on the kitty. Just makes it for me. And, I love the little smiling face on the egg yoke. How cute! Thanks for sharing, you always make my day.

    Hey Vanessa! Great start for an exciting 2011! I really love your character design! Every one is so full of life and joy!! Your kitty ROCKS! I received my copy of Focus on the Family’s Clubhouse Jr. today. ( I’m hoping to do some work for them someday) What a wonderful surprise when I turned from page 15 to 16! Your little Emma is as cute as a pickle!!! What a thrill! For you and me :o) Congrats my fiend on another splendid illustration. I hope and pray that you had a blessed Christmas and that God will continue showering you with blessings in the coming year! I posted on your facebook page first, then I figured you were like me... on your blog more than facebook...so you have similar comments from me on both. :o)
