A new title
A new illustrated book is at the publisher's right now, and ought to be in print this summer. It's a comforting story about a girl who has a chance to reconnect with her memories of her father. – lec

At work
My son shot this photo for a promotion featuring WendyLynn's illustrators. The book I'm working on in this small studio should reach its conclusion in the coming month. Four illustrated children's books were produced here in the past year, and all four should be in print by summer. I'm grateful to the authors who believed in their project enough to commission the illustrations and to Wendy Mays, who helped each partnership get off the ground. And I'm especially thankful for my family, who has encouraged me at every step. – lec
Lucy is making her rounds
"Lucy the Baby Deer" has been released and is getting into the hands of young readers. The author, Robert Maunus, is encouraged with the initial response, and we hope to expand its reach into more bookstores, libraries and children's bookshelves soon with a second printing.
Lucy into print
The new book, Lucy, the Baby Deer, will be off the presses in a week or so. It will be good to feel the hardcover book in my hands after seeing it develop. The designer sent me a copy of the cover.
A busy start to 2009
"The Secret of St. Nicholas" is still on sale through its web site, and some of the artwork was featured in an exhibit in Maryland over the Christmas season. Here is a collage of some of the images that I recreated for the author.
New artwork will be forthcoming as I'm able to share the new projects underway. The book about the baby deer is in production and some sketches for other books are in the early stages, - lec
