    I’m having a bad lazy weekend. Will resume work tomorrow or Monday. But you never know, I might have the mood to upload a drawing or two in no time.

    Happy weekend y’all!

    Mugs for sale!

    New additions at my Lilshop! Limited stock, only one mug per design! This was done yesterday. The illustrations had been done a day before yesterday, had to wait for one day till the paint dries before baking them in the oven.

    I am so sleepy, been out the whole day. Will take a quick nap and hope to wake up at midnight. There’s so much to do including illustrating for this week’s Illustration Friday challenge.

    Mother’s Garden

    Remember the Mom’s Garden illustrations I made for last year’s Drawing Day? Well, I have improved it, make it saturated as I like it and made few other ammendments here and there. I’ve changed the title from Mom’s Garden to Mother’s Garden. Now, it is better!! Been working on it these past few days and have come up with my own rhyming verses to accompany the illustrations. I done the mock-up and will bring it to the publisher. If the publisher likes it, they will publish it and it’ll go Frankfurt Book Fair in October! Please pray for me!

    If this gets published, this will be the very first children’s book of mine!

    Here’s one of my rhyming verses (This one accompanies the girl with bugs on her shirt, upper illo):

    Buzz buzz
    here comes the bugs,
    buzz buzz
    they give me big hugs.

    Buzz buzz
    they crawl and tickle,
    buzz buzz
    they think I am a pickle!

    Yeah, it sounds silly but heck, I am silly! Lol, hope to get it edited by the publisher (if they’re taking it).
