First Inning Artworks

All of these drawings were made on 11 x 14 Bristol board and are suitable for framing. I have not put a price on them individually or as a set, but if anyone is interested in buying the originals, I would like to hear from you.

The books and their reviews are here:

Congratulations, Barak Obama.

President-elect.

Truly remarkable. Truly.

And congratulations to Senator John McCain for your unquestioned patriotism and courage and your service to your country.

That’s why when friend Cyn Mobley, author of many books and head of Bushido Press, asked me to do a illustration for a book a friend wants to publish, I told her I would give it a shot. Cyn’s company has published The Writing Wright, a books of snippets about writing with illustrations (by me) of various authors, so it was impossible for me to turn her down.

Cyn said she wanted a woman in a red dress who was breaking away from a Lilliputian tie-down. She told me she thought my style of pen and ink drawing would be appropriate for this book.

The illustration above is what I came up with.

Fortunately, Cyn and the author liked it — a lot, apparently. Cyn called it a “home run.” Very gratifying.

The book is Life among the Lilliputians by Judy Lockhart DiGregorio. The publisher is Celtic Cat Publishing.
