Sneakery Peekery… art from two works-in-progress.

What’s your favourite way to illustrate a story you’ll be self-publishing?  Do you wait for it to be completely finished, for the text to be polished and ready to go to print, or do you find an illustrator at the first glimmer of a complete story? 

Me, I fall into the latter category – give me pictures as soon as possible, please!

Right now, I’m kind of wondering why I always feel most creative at the times in my life when I am otherwise busiest?  Probably has something to do with procrastination, and not doing the things that are expected of me in other areas! 

But it’s good news for my writing.  And since I love to see pictures of my stories, here are sneak peeks of illustrations two very different works-in-progress that are approaching the finish line.

Two works in progress

The first is a rhyming kids’ book about Chanukah (yeah, yeah, a bit late for that, I know – but there’s always next year!).  The illustrator is creating a very “paint-like” effect that I’m enjoying watching take shape.
