I thought I would post this collage of a series that I created for my licensing portfolio. It is funny how you get an idea in your head and it stays there until you put it on paper and then it takes on a whole new life and it does not look anything like the image you had been carrying in your head. At least that is how it works for me! I did really like doing these fish. I am a water baby at heart. Maybe a mermaid in a firmer life. I love the ocean it thrills me and spooks me out at the same time. I drove down to Cape Cod yesterday and watched Luke take swim lessons (in the ocean). He had 2 female lifeguards teaching, he was the only student. How did he manage that?

There was a beautiful breeze and the seagulls were squawking. I have been sitting on a birthday card assignment based around Cape Cod that incorporates sea life (what?) but this brief outing may have made something click for me to get going on it. I recently got a book cover assignment and since I completely judge a book by it's cover, I am so happy for this assignment. It is a fantasy young adult novel and I read it and thought it was really good! I may not be able to post the cover for some time but I will have goodies to show you!
