Looks good. I've been writing one about the adventures of my pet cockapoo ( a cocker Poodle cross) Poppy. I need to try sending mine off as well Good luck Simon |

Josephine - delightful.......but.......I hated that you stopped!!! Now I'll probably never know if Marlo developes a taste for mice. A cliffhanger! 
By the way, I'm the story-teller for pre-schoolers - they will love this........Joey _________________ "Art is a blade of grass ... and in a moment I will eat it." |

Thanks for that Simon - good luck to you too (are you doing the illustrations in PS?) and thanks Joey also - maybe I will get a publisher and you will find out  _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Marlo the cat online
I've done the original illustrations by hand then cleaned them up and added a black and white wash too them in photoshop. It's more along the lines of the Winnie the pooh/paddington bear stories, with each chapter being a separate adventure but al going as one big story. I've put a couple of sample chapters on by friends Cockapoo website, just so it gets it seen (free advertising)!!! here's a link to one of them let me know what you think http://www.mydogslife.co.uk/poppys-adventures/pdf/poppys-hello-ween.pdf |

Re: Marlo the cat online
The illustrations are great - some very nice mark making going on there - why did you choose a black and white wash rather than colour btw? _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Great works Josephine and Simon. You've really moved that on for the media Josephine. I like it. Guess you learnt a lot and can reuse going forward. Great content Welcome back Simon. Just because you are not here does not mean you are are forgotten. Josephine raises interesting question, but love the illustrations either-way. Maybe I can share with my granddaughter(s) |
