Today a new Peepsqueak came in the mail. I have to decide which one I like the best. The one on the right is the new one. He is chubby and the pile is short. The one on the left is more shaggy and his body is softer and squishy. Which one do YOU like best? Do you have any comments?

My nose is running! I have been sitting on the couch all day!! Sometimes it is okay to be lazy. The body needs a little TCL. I am not used to being in slow motion.

Whose At The Door?

Just a few minutes ago my little dog Violet started barking! I opened the front door and found a brown box. The return address? NY, NY!

“It’s Peepsqueak!” I yelled!

I pulled at the sticky packing tape and ripped open the box! Oh my goodness! Peepsqueak was all packaged up with his own tag. Next I had to cut him out of a plastic bag! I will have to talk to Beth at Harper Collins about giving him breathing holes next time. He was no worse for wear and now is sitting comfortably on a chair in my family room.

Merry Makers is the toy company that made Peepsqueak They have made other fun characters like Olivia, Splat the Cat, Lama Lama, Junie B. Jones and more. Peepsqueak has not stopped talking about them since he came.

Merry Makers has decided to license Peepsqueak for all the world to buy! How exciting! Keep an eye out for him come late January.http://www.merrymakersinc.com/index.html

Progress on book 2

Peepsqueak’s second book is well on the way to meeting the deadline of November 15th. My next step in the process is the fun part! Adding COLOR!

What you are looking at in the picture (above) are all my pages laid out. There are scans, sketches, finished ink drawings and notes from the editor for each page. Here is an example of an unfinished page. I started coloring the deer and the fox! Stay posted! I will show you the finished page later!
