News News News! Well, More Like An Information Update

News #1 I finally got the title of my Panda story copyrighted! This means I don't need to use the term "Code Named Panda" anymore on the blogosphere, I can actually tell you all now that officially, my book's name is "Panda's Perfect Pocket". News #2 This year, I have decided to finish one painting a month for Panda's Perfect Pocket. I need a total of 13. I have one painting finished, so if I can manage this slightly aggressive timeline I could, technically, have the whole thing illustrated by the end of this year! We shall see how I manage to balance work and illustration. I started off really strong last year, but by July work became so demanding I was lucky if I had a lunch break, or even a weekend for that matter. I need a benefactor. Know anyone? News #3 The daily sketches, well, no so daily as of late, but anyway my daily sketches that I am turning into my fantasy coloring book for kids have an actual plan now. I will be approaching Dover Publishing with it in April.  That should give me enough time to draw the rest of the pages and ink the whole set. I also know how many I need: 29-30. I have 13 so far, so that means 16-17 more to go! And if Dover doesn't like it, then self publishing it is for this one! News #4 You get to offer up ideas for fantasy creatures YOU would like to see! Just leave it in your comments. The ones I know I will be doing still are: 1. Sea Monster 2. Ki'rin 3. Feathered Serpent So, folks, what fantasy creatures would YOU like to see in this coloring book? Comment below!

   NESSIE!!!!! I loved Nessie as a kid, he was so magical in his mystery and stealthy powers!

   Akupara – Turtle who holds the weight of the world on his back

   Kraken – a giant squid!!!! Who doesn’t love a giant squid with tentacles of gold! (hahaha, even if his tentacles weren’t figuratively gold, but really gold, so he couldn’t move them around…..what a predicament!)
