Lots Going On!

Hey there! I'm sorry I've been really bad at updating. Here's what's been going on in the exciting life of Stevie French!

1. I've been working on some projects, including a redraft of the Drunken Boat logo, a series of painted, jungle-themed panels for a baby's room, and illustrations for an out-of-publication book from the 1800s.
2. Contacting bookstores! In addition to the 6 copies that Bookplace in Oxford is carrying, I've spoken with the wonderful manager at Friendly Gifts in North Wilmington, who has agreed to carry 12 copies of LFT, and I am visiting a children's books store in Richmond, VA this weekend, because they are considering possibly carrying it. I also have a lead in Maryland.
3. Getting psyched for an interview on Friday with Landenberg Today! This is exciting because it's more exposure, will look good on the website and press kits, and as a stepping stone for additional publications to feature my work. The journalist I have been talking with so far seems very cool. I'm really looking forward to it.  Sure hope I can think of interesting things to say...

On top of all this, I also got a day job substitute teaching for the Brandywine, Christina, and Colonial school districts in Del. We'll see how that goes--it may warrant a whole new blog unto itself (just kidding!)
