New books just arrived…YAHOO!!
Memoirs of a Hamster by Devin Scillian is being published by
Sleeping Bear Press. It follows our first collaboration, Memoirs of a Goldfish
(2010).
Here’s a description of the story:
Night 1 /
My life is perfect. / I have a bowl full of seeds, a cozy pile of wood
shavings, and room to run. / I'm never leaving here. / Question: Who's the
luckiest hamster in the world? / Answer: ME! Seymour the hamster has the
perfect life. He has a spacious cage, a constant food supply, and a FuzzyBoy
360 exercise wheel that lets him run to his heart's content. Life could not be
better. Or could it? When Pearl the cat tells Seymour of the goodies beyond the
safe confines of his cage, he starts to think he's missing out. And out is the
new in! It's only after Seymour is out of his cage that he begins to fully
appreciate his safe and cozy home.
The
illustrations were done in acrylic on watercolor board.
I think I’ll start my own memoir…
Day 1-
I
received two boxes of freshly printed books. Who’s the luckiest illustrator in
the world? Answer: Me!
…now, back to
the drawing board.
