I'm very excited to be going tomorrow to a local elementary school as a visiting Illustrator.
I'll be presenting to and drawing with the Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades.

Let me know what you think! I began with the drawing below, for our daughter's 4th birthday invites. I put the frog into two different settings to play with, for IllustrationFriday. Seemed like the natural pond setting makes more sense with the traditional look, and the sidewalk setting lends itself to the more modern and fun look that uses odd patterns.
