Peaceful Moment at Sunrise. A muted gray creature rests lightly upon a barren branch, high atop a solitary tree at sunrise. It's expression is calm and thoughtful. The expansive sunlit sky paints its face, feathered mane and furred body with orange, as its long tail wraps around the branch securely.

Colorful drawing illustrating a passage in the classic story, "Chicken Little". It depicts on the left 3 distressed fowl: a rooster, chicken and duck. They are holding tiny umbrellas and staring down the road at a little yellow chick, desperately telling goose and turkey about the sky falling down and the inevitable end of the world.

In dark blue and gray colors of plants and wild flowers, stands a rather strange being, the color of a tangerine, looking with longing at a delicious berry, just out of reach. On its head, a flower has sprouted.

BABY MONSTERS: Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

This teeny, weeny baby is about the size of a large acorn. I found her around twilight, huddled on the forest floor, hiding amongst the fallen leaves and acorns, waiting for her mom to return with dinner. I kept my distance while I hastily made her portrait, knowing that she was somewhere close by. The last thing I wanted to do was make this sweet baby anxious.

Purplish dusk deep in the woods, a tiny baby monster -- the size of a large walnut, with delicate scales of pink, gold and light blue, is nestled in a bed of leaves and acorns. Head, arms and legs are wrapped tightly around itself as it waits nervously for its mother to arrive with dinner. Large eyes peer from its face, surrounded by floppy ears and tiny claws.

Bashful Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip or two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"After Meenu gobbles the crisp tartlets that
are offered, he asks "Where is everyone going?"
"I'm not sure" growls one, scratching its neck.
"It is a BIG mystery!", another whispers, smiling
nervously. One teeny monster mumbles
"I'm just following the others."

The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on. A strange crowd of monsters gather curiously around a small blue monster. They stare at it, with concern bordering on fear. A conversation is taking place about where they are going and why.

Almost hidden within a pile of maple leaves and tucked into the roots of a tree, stands a solitary, spiky haired creature of unknown origin. Arms outstretched, with a slight scowl on its face, it appears to be thinking of something important - perhaps what it would like to eat for lunch. Far back, lurking behind a tree, a young girl is watching. Drawn in black, white and gray graphite/pencil.

My REAL Imaginary Friend
Some say that friends must be actual physical beings to count as REAL. Why, I ask? I have REAL imaginary friends who are quite lovely and can be most helpful in a pinch. When I'm having a really bad day, need a bit of advice, or if I'm just feeling blue, my REAL imaginary friends are exactly the ones I want around for comfort. No complaining or whining about THEIR troubles. No attention sucking smart phones to distract them from listening to you. And, the best part is, you can call up the exact friend for listening or guidance when needed, instantly!

Teacups. Tiny monsters.
Enjoying a peaceful moment to themselves. Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...

Set against a rosy colored wallpaper with pale blooms, a dainty china teacup decorated with swirling buds, sits quietly on a table top. Inside, a strange being reposes, with heavily lidded eyes. Atop its head are pink branches with teal colored leaves. It appears to be deeply pondering the universe as it slips into a blissful sleep.

A cat stands very still, slyly glancing at the tip of its tail, where a hopeful fish has come for a nibble. On the tip of its tail grows a bit of tasty-looking vegetation. Its orange body has seaweed shaped patterns. From the top of the kitties head, branching flowers of green and orange blossom and sway, enticing the unwary to come closer.

GO DEEP TO FIND YOUR BLISS
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay
afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.

On a watercolor background of blue, two thirds of which is water with pale vertical stripes and the top one third a highly textured sky with yellow sun. Frantically treading water at the surface, an orange sullen creature with yellow horns peeks above. At the very bottom of the picture, deep within the water and tied with a string, a pinkish balloon gently floats. Inside it is a red heart.
