On this Sunny Saturday Afternoon I finally am able to share a project in here that I have been working on for the past year and a half. I have been illustrating my first book for my dear friend Brian. Its been a wonderful adventure of collaboration and creativity that has brought nearly one hundred paintings to life that will be published and shared with the world very soon.
I just can't wait to hold a printed copy in my hands and see one of my greatest childhood dreams of illustrating a book come true!

Why Gold Fish Never Die is most beautiful to read and will compel you to think about why you are here and wonder how you came to be alive. Its perfect with prose, humour and short tales mixed in. A joyful and thought provoking journey with the Author and the characters we have created in pictures to help tell the tale.
I would love to invite you to visit the Book's Website, read a little offering of the book and write a comment on its very own blog too!...
