Stepping Into The Unknown
An author friend of mine called out of the blue one day and asked me to read a little story he had written and that he wanted to turn into a children's book for Christmas. I said sure and that I would read it to all the Wammyville Yahoos and get back to him with their feedback/ suggestions/questions/comments.... Then he shocked me by asking if I could paint or do some illustrations! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS did I see that coming! He has a very artistically, crazy talented daughter! I said I would give it a try, and I must have sketched and painted 10 mice before we decided on one. This pic is the shot of the one that he chose, but we tweaked it a bit along the way. Little Sedgwich began to develop a personality. His tail is a capital S. He has a very small, little tattoo. Can you find it? Then came the cover! I tried and tried to figure something out. Again, millions of miles out of my zone. Again, Greg would make suggest...
