Memories


This is a memory from 1968 for Illustration Friday. I SO remember the spit.

This is great! And kind of gross. It brings back memories of my own brotherly torment. No spit in the mouth, just loogies in the hair.

Jana! Finally a blog by you and Janee! How wonderful is this! I am a fan of your work. As a matter of fact, you illustrated a story I did for Scholastic's Read an Rise Mag a few years ago. "Sam Takes A Walk." I really loved what you did. It was awesome! Since then I have been a big fan and just waiting to see what other books you where doing so I could purchase them. I have, " Celebrate." I enjoy the style, color and texture of your work. It always make me smile. You have a way of capturing a moment in time. Your post for Memories is very touching. Brothers do the grosses things to us don't they? Anyway, I love what you posted here and I sure would love to see more. Now I can since you've statrted this blog. I wish you much creativity , grace and peace.
