Illustration Friday - EXOTIC Plus, Sunny is Finally Here!

Click to enlarge

 I've been feeling under the weather this past week (read: coughing up a lung), and haven't done much drawing lately, but I couldn't resist this week's challenge word, EXOTIC. We often fear what is strange to us....but maybe this bee's imagination has run away with him, & the plant is just misunderstood.......hmmm............ (Either way, I'll blame this rather bizarre idea on the meds!!!)


Last year I illustrated a book called Sunny the Sneaker. It was a fun project, the author was a joy to work with, and by the end, I'd completely fallen in love with the main character, Sunny. Well, Sunny is finally in print, and I was excited to receive my 2 copies from the author last week! Always cool to see the finished project after months & months of work, and it's ridiculously fun watching my library grow!  Looking forward to attending the book launch in a few weeks, where I will be drawing for and perhaps with some local children!!

    That bee is adorable! Maybe he knows something about the plant that we don't.

    Yeah, Sunny the Sneaker looks like a fun book, it has a very inviting cover. Solid read?
    I like your bee, but I really don't think they're scared of much, just reckless. Every morning I go out and fish a couple of them out of the birdbath that they accidently fell into while drinking. They look like the frozen dead but when I lay them in the sun they come back to life and eventually fly away. My good deed every morning.

    Yes best to play it safe, the exotic plant might be a bee-eater. Congratulations on your book!
