Today I have a guest post over at www.pjmommy.com… there you will find a recent description of me by my son, Wes (17). Too funny!

And here is a recent sketchbook drawing (pencil, but enhanced a bit in Photoshop). Have a great day!

For today’s book release celebration I wrote a guest post for Hen’s Nest!!

There’s also a chance to win a copy of the book again and a short review by Henrietta. 😀

And if you read my post you will see there is a Silly Assignment for you to do (click to enlarge my attempt, above).

I do really like my last cat, done with my eyes closed and with one continuous line!

Wow. I’m really excited about the review I received over at www.bookfetish.org today. The reviewer really “gets” what I’m trying to do with “The Art of Silliness,” which expands beyond the book into my online classes and what I hope to offer in general with regards to drawing, art, and creativity. Thanks, BookFetish!

To celebrate, I’d love to give away a copy of “The Art of Silliness: A Creativity Book for Everyone” right here!

If you’d like a chance to win, please leave your comment on this post by midnight Friday, November 9th. I will pick a winner randomly on Saturday. The winner, #29 randomly picked, is juttamariamueller!

Thanks for being here!

I can finally show you the cover of my other forthcoming book!

“The Art of Silliness: A Creativity Book for Everyone” is a compilation-“plus” of the worksheet exercises from my online class series, The Art of Silliness. Published by Perigee Books, it is due out November 6th and will also be available as a Kindle version and also as a Nook.

I’ll be planning some fun things here at the blog in November to celebrate, but before that I’ll be doing a blog tour for “Drawing and Painting Imaginary Animals: A Mixed Media Workshop with Carla Sonheim.” (Amazon says this one is due out September 1st already!) There will be book giveaways, fresh tutorials, and more.

I’m really excited about both books, and am so grateful to be able to do what I do. Thank YOU for being such a large part of it!
