Well like everything else I’m once again pleasantly surprised to find "Ferdinand Frog's Flight" is for sale well almost; you can get notified when it shows up. But the title is up so soon enough.  :-)

This book should look beautiful in all its color.  I am looking forward to getting my copies to see how close the printing is to original artwork
I am sure that you can also find it at 4RV Publishing or B&N sites as well

As a side note why "Widget" is full all ten books in the carousel at the top of the this blog are all mine.

All Most Done

I have no idea how long it has taken me to ink this drawing this far but I would guess it will take me a few more hours before I would consider it done

Things are starting to become normal again

And I started on a project just for me; and I thought to share some of it, this may become a picture book if I can find enough inspiration   

When you look up

When you take the time to look up in NYC you just may find something fun, beautiful, and ugly or get hit with pigeon poop.

Today I’m posting something FUN! (Or ugly) Meet Monsieur Chat or M. Chat
I have seen these two yellow cats for many years and even though I enjoyed looking at them I have never taken the time to learn about them.

I was surprised to find out with a quick internet search that they have quite a history. Created in 1997 in Orleans, France by graffiti artist Thomas Vuille.

A couple of links Flickr and Associated content from Yahoo were you can see more pictures and learn more about Mr. Vuille and of this fun fat cat.
