My pointer Weet. He served as the raison d'être for the contribution I made to the book I have coming out, "Scrambled Ink"(see my other blog).
I love words and have no reluctance to use them whenever possible, but for the Scrambled Ink story I wound up cutting nearly all of the text. Initially I'd planned something much more like "Eloise". Not comparing myself in any way against the brilliant Hilary Knight or Kay Thompson, mind you--I just enjoy the sorts of stories that are all too rare nowadays-ones that are a little bit more text than pictures but the pictures are many.
In the event the story I did is all pictures; I now look at it as a kind of private conversation/reminiscence between Pete and me, who had been to Paris for the first and only time not long before.

Your drawings are amazing!
Wow! Nice drawings!!!!!!
I spent a while cogitating before commenting on this particular post, as I didn't want to intrude on your wonderful little tribute, but I decided it's one of the more courageous things I've seen lately, and I wanted to say so - plus you've given me a deeper insight into your upcoming book; it's a beautifully poignant part of finding your heart's ease, and it couldn't have been all that plain & simple to do. Don't ever let anyone question your courage, Jenny Lerew.
vanwall, that was elegantly worded. There's really nothing I can say that's up to it except-thank you.
Hey i love your styles!! Great blog!!
wow, such nice drawings, and I can't wait to see your book!
Now have my own copy of "Scrambled ink". Must say your story is my favourite, though I like the one about the Tick-tick bird, and the Greedy Grizzly a lot too.
Pass on my congrats to your co-conspirators, a good job by all.
