I’m working this weekend finalizing the last ten percent of the book art… the above illo created with a Derwent Inktense pencil (Deep Indigo)… when you draw it looks like a pencil, but then you wet it and it smears very nicely… I bought a handful of these pencils last weekend and I am loving them!
Thank you for all of the nice comments re: our house selling. We are thrilled over here!

WooHoo! I know you wanted so badly to move and now it’s happening. I wish you the best and if you’re anywhere near me in California (Santa Cruz/Los Gatos area) I’d love to see you, could even put you up for a night. Good luck.
