I love these! Especially the shading and use of color. I clicked on it to see a larger view. I like the boy's big mouth holding the books. These are cool and what a fun way to pay some bills!

I like, I like!!! Cool.

Glad to hear about the new book - my son just LOVES the one he did about the Star. We even hid a starfish for him to find, from the local beach shop, in amongst the seaweed on a trip to our beach. When he found it he was thrilled to 'have a star of his very own' just like the boy in the book. Now it sits next to his pillow every night. Bless :-) e

Even your chalk drawings are gorgeous. I'm not sure if looking at the pictures of your murals did it, but last night I dreamed about dancing elephants dressed in silks. It was a good dream.
