Here Come the H's!

The H pages are done.  HOORAY and HALLELUJIAH!  I'm so happy--happier than a little kid eating birthday cake!

 

This illustration of "Henry" eating cake is the last one I'm going to use in this ABC Book that's actually a copy of an old drawing from 1993 (when I started a book for my youngest son but never finished it).  From here on out, I won't be hampered by trying to reproduce existing artwork; I always find it easier to start from square one.


I thought he was cuter the first time around.  But he didn't have a name back then.  Now he's Henry...because H is for Henry.

Okay then, have a great weekend, dear readers.

  1. Laura, I don't know how you have the patience to do it!! Are you going to indie pub it when you're done?

    1. I'm going to publish it somehow on my own (via Mixbook, perhaps), just to make copies for my grandchildren. Or maybe I'll look into some of the other self-publishing options out there--doesn't Amazon have one?

  2. Your art is astonishing. That hippo - oh my! I could only do that in my dreams, and I started college as a Art major! I really would love to see this book published and WIDELY WIDELY read. But that's selfish on my part, for I have grandchildren! Count me a buyer; count me a huge fan.
