Camouflage



I could really use that right now - a good book and a comfy couch. But alas, lots of work to do and the last week of school is always stuffed with activities and running around and all the crap they cart home that I have to sift through! This was a fun illustration to do so I hope you enjoy it.

And my book cover is finito and has been uploaded to the publisher - yippee!

What a great idea. I don't have any kids but I'm sure my mother can relate.

I personally wouldn't mind a little blending in and fading into the background myself! I love this illo!

I like your illo! Such a beautiful pattern too. It sort of reminds me when Maria dressed the Von Trapp kids in the draperies in the Sound of Music. Terrific job!
