"Children's Book"...well that should be a simple topic. I have working on several children's books for 3 years (and counting). This illustration is from the first book that I began about a boy who takes gum into a museum even after he read the sign saying "No gum allowed". He learns quickly that the dinosaurs can't get enough of the stuff. The whole idea started because I drew a skeleton of a dinosaur that looked like it should be blowing bubbles...a happy accident!
( A college professor once told me that "Happy Accident " is an artistic term. And so is "stuff".)

Susan, this sounds like a funny story. I like your dinosaur. He's got an interesting personality.

Nice story… plus the dino-factor! Bound to be appealing!
