Well, since my last post I was waiting to find out a couple of things. First, if I landed a spot in the 5th Annual ABC's Children Book Competition. Well, I did!! I am working on illustrating a great short story written by Eddy Logan. Second, I was eagerly awaiting to find out if I was selected to illustrate A Puppy not a Guppy, written by Holly Jahangiri and publishing by 4RV Publishing. Well, I was!! And am putting the finishing touches on the cover art! I am also working on Portia the Porcupine written by Larry Ward. On top of all this Bait for Lunch (my second illustrated published work) by K.A. Okagaki is being released in two weeks!

I am a very busy guy right now! But, it's a good busy! On top of these projects, I am working on getting book events to spread the word about the books I am working on, 4RV publishing, the ABC's competition and of course me! I a desperately looking for a part time job, because while I am doing all of this I am working full time! I am really pulling to get into illustrating full time and doing other projects with my art full time.

This year has really turned out to be a good year after all. I give HIM all the glory, and owe so many folks continued thanks. You all know who you are.

Ryan
