Hello to all who occasionally stop by and see what’s going on! Much has been happening. I had a wonderful exhibit of my expressive art and illustrations at the Carnegie library in my hometown of Parsons, Kansas. I’ve had a blast doing several book readings and events for DUCK DUCK GOOSE! But the biggest thing I’ve been working on (obsessing over) is the newest FIELD TRIP book. I began painting the final art in June and I turned it all in last week. Since turning it in I’ve taken a few days to wander through the woods, explore new spots downtown, and…play video games. I don’t play video games often but man I can sink into them when I do. It all started when I turned in the art for FIELD TRIP TO THE OCEAN DEEP, I celebrated by buying a bunch of grocery store sushi (I know I know), and buying a video game for my kid’s XBOX - which I then commandeered. Its been one way I look to spoil myself after a project ever since. But…after a few days I Inevitably start to feel guilty and began to think “okay what’s on deck?” and get back to work. That’s where I’m at now. But first I’m going to try to beat this mission…and maybe a few side quests.
Anyways , the next FIELD TRIP adventure will be out next fall! It just might be my favorite! More details to come.
