Sweet and sophisticated!

I was really nervous to ask Marisa to be in the book, but I’m glad I did because she said “yes!”

Marisa is widely licensed and has a new fabric line: Head on over to her website and etsy sites to see more of her wonderful work. Thanks, Marisa, for being part of “Drawing and Painting Imaginary Animals!”

Today I bring you some animals creations of Lisa Firke (her name rhymes with “quirky”). Just check out this wonderful rabbit!

And this one!

And this “Pea-Turkey”!

And these birds!

I first met Lisa “on-line” last year through some of my classes, and I really enjoyed all the work she was uploading at her flickr site… but when I saw a certain little patterned line drawing, I just HAD to have him in the “Imaginary Animals!” And lucky for me, Lisa said “yes.”

BOOK GIVEAWAY
If you head on over to Lisa’s website today, you might catch a glimpse of the little guy… AND leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of the book. (Remember, leave a comment at HER site!) Update: Lisa’s winner was Tina W.
