Team River Rat!

Made this t-shirt logo for a friend's work baseball team.  The concept was my friend's and I executed it. I thought it was a cool/funny idea anyway, I must say. Go River Rats!  (Whatever a River Rat is.  I kind of picture a malnourished otter but thought that wouldn't be nearly as threatening on a sports shirt).

Another Fun Project for Work!

I'm really looking forward to this event.  Partyin' with my kiddies!  And they're going to look so cute with their props and costumes!

Ah, The Taste of Writing Again!

Sooo blog, I kind of forgot about you for awhile! Sorry about that! I have been studiously and obsessively re-drafting my latest story (the one that has been on the backburner since before Lizzie was written) for the past few days and I've finally gotten over the "hump"--which always seems to be the ending--and it's now in a place where I am REALLY EXCITED.  A delectable morsel to whet your palate if you wish:

    The next day, Princess Zooey and Muffy arrived at the field.
    BRR BRR BRR! played the trumpets. “Let the derby BEGIN!”
    Princess Zooey tore into the arena at full speed. Suddenly--RIP! A flat tire! 
    “Oh no!” Zooey thought as she sat in fear and watched first one car strike out, then another.
    Soon, it was down to just Zooey and the last car.  “What will I do? I can’t get any speed with this tire!” Zooey thought. Just then, she remembered what was so special about King Norbert’s Wienermobile... 

Summer Camp?

I madeded this!

Happy Early Valentine's Day: Someone Wants Me!

Dear Readers,
So I got invited to do a signing/reading at a kids' literary festival in the spring.  I am pretty excited because I had left a copy of Lizzie Fox-Top at this store, hoping they would carry it, but had trouble getting in touch with the owner after that.  I didn't expect to hear back, but then I got this invite!  It sounds like a fun gig; I hope I get to do it.

In other news, you should probably buy my new book if you haven't already.  I'm just sayin'.  Thanks.

Love,
Stevie

Kindergarten/Bears

 

I made an ad for my school's kindergarten!  

 

Then I made a sketch of a bear chasing a woman

And inked it in!  This is for a friend's book of poetry.  The title involves a bear and someone leaving.  I hope she doesn't get eaten....

The Caring Center Knows How to Party

Here's a flier I made for my school's 20th Anniversary "Birthday Celebration."  My criteria was to include our frog mascot and all this info.  Originally I thought it was going to be called "Spring Fling." Hence all the flowers.  I think we all know by now I like drawing flowers.  I'm such a girl.
