My daughter walked into a local craft store with her children and sharp-eyed Olivia noticed a box of Verithin pencils with my image on the packaging. Talk about a weird sort of thrill. I can see why all of you professionals get such a rush from seeing your work on a book cover and such. Of course, she bought if for me. I wasn't expecting them out until 2010. Guess it all depends on a store's ability to move the older inventory. Here's the original drawning and the box. Despite the fact we woke up to snow and a broken heater, this has made my day a tad bit sunnier.

Spectrum 14
One of my personal goals this year was to enter a painting to be considered for publication in the 14th annual "best of fantasy art" book, Spectrum. I never expected to make it. But low and behold, I did! I can't believe I will be in a book that also contains the work of artists I have admired for so long. The piece I entered is "Prelude to a Kiss". It's my take on the Sleeping Beauty tale and I used my daughter, Hilary for the model. The book will come out in November. I have alot of work ahead of me to get my website and work looking professional and consistent in style.
