What a great time we had at the show yesterday at the JCC. Congratulations to all the wonderful fashion designers, other artists involved and Terri Stearn, for a job well done! What a delight to find out when we got there that Joe Faris from Project Runway 5 would be taking part in the show. It's always an honor and great fun to participate in the exhibits at the JCC!
Terri Stearn, gallery director, you are the very best!
These are the bracelets I created for the gallery portion of the Project Runway Detroit show
at the Janice Charach Gallery.
They are on sale here until March 8.
You can find a few pictures from the runway show HERE

...for this week's Illustration Friday
How Haitians PlayBasketball introduces us to Milekson, a boy with a different walk and a love for basketball. When an earthquake strikes Milekson's home on the island country of Haiti, his life and the lives of his friends and family are changed in big ways. This book, the second in the BlazeSports Children's Series from TorchRunner Press, is a great way to tactfully teach your child about the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the abilities of people with disabilities, and the triumph of the human spirit. How Haitians Play Basketball makes a perfect addition to your school or public library, and a great gift for children both with and without disabilities.

...for this week's Illustration Friday
When you purchase an item from MY STORE, 10% of your purchase price will be donated to my favorite animal charities; Last Chance Animal Rescue and Horses Haven, both in lower MI. Which charity the donation goes to, will depend on the item purchased and I will love you forever from the bottom of my little black heart. ...and even if you don't purchase anything from me, you can go to their site and make a donation! They deserve a chance too!

It's been awhile since I've updated the blog here... I've been so busy cranking out illustrations that I've lost track of all time. My newest illustrated venture is How Haitians Play Basketball (TorchRunner Press) written by Travis Mushett, illustrated by me. This book was published for BlazeSports whose mission is to improve the lives of children and adults with physical disabilities worldwide through sport, healthy lifestyles, the prevention of chronic illness, sport diplomacy, and human rights. I worked with a fabulous team on this book and I'm very proud of it. I can't wait to to share this story with you! The release date is scheduled for mid-September, so stay tuned for more updates on this project. I'll be able to tell you when and where to get your copy! It's a wonderful story and your money will go to a most deserving cause.

Milford Memories Summer Festival 20th Anniversary!!!
A portion of the Milford Memories 20th Anniversary Brochure (inside and out) is shown here. The brochure was created by Jim Hamilton of Hamilton Arts Design and Photography. I created the fArCiCaL fOlK aRt for this year's festival, included in this years brochure above. LOVE IT!!! My art will also be featured on postcards, t-shirts, etc. What an honor to be featured artist, two years in a row and especially this year, for the Milford Memories Summer Festival 20th Anniversary!!! I'm looking so forward to seeing this year's goodies as they are released!
