Everyday Drawings

Hi, this is Jing Jing—today I came home from an early morning surf session to find this note taped on the gate. I laughed out loud. Mike knew that I could translate the cryptic message into, "Good Morning Honey, I brought Prudence for a walk." Mike totally captured our dog's wide-eyed anticipation when we utter the words, "Kaloko" (the forest we take walks in), "Walk" or "Truck". To tease her, sometimes we just make the K sound, "kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh." It drives her crazy!

Hello again...

… it has been awhile! We've both been working on longer-term projects which we'll be able to share soon! In the meantime my first samples for two board books recently arrived at our doorstep (the poor UPS man, our dog Prudence really doesn't like him and always lets him know). You can sneak preview Up in the Hawaiian Sky by Lavonne Leong and preview/buy  Twinkle, Twinkle, Small Hoku at Amazon. These are the 3rd and 4th board books I've illustrated for BeachHouse Publishing,
thanks to Jane Gillespie the editor! Here are links to the 1st and 2nd books: Sam Surfs and Aloha Zoo. Oh, and here's a picture of Prudence on her way to the beach, so you can see that she is actually very nice, just not to the UPS man.
