    V!!!! Happy Easter my friend!

    You are truly one of the most prolific artists/illustrators out there. Every time I visit your site, you have ten new amazing things up. I just love these two pieces especially the old-fashioned feel to GLORIA and that console in the background. Is it a book you are working on?

    xoxo Charmaine

    Wish I could get a move on like the kids in your Nat'l Geo pic, but I'm feeling more like Glo, with a little mo' slow, in the next one, lately!
    Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter- Hope the bunny leaves you a basket full of goodies! :o)
