Gallery Connect Children's Book Illustrators Show


The Gallery Connect Children's Book Illustrators Show,  organized by Deborah Cuneo, featured the work of area illustrators. Each participating artist was allowed to show up to 3 pieces. As the gallery/café space is run by the C3 Church and shares space in the Rainbow Chimes building, a daycare/pre-school, we were asked that at least one of our child friendly art be bible related. The show is up for the month of March 2012.

Exhibiting CBIG members in random order: Deborah Cuneo, Diana Ting Delosh, Leeza Hernandez, Teresa Tyler, Diane Allison, Penny Weber, Laura Goetz, Donna Miskend, Beth Bogert, Cheryl Taborsky, Babara Mason Rast, Roberta M. Rivera.

Members will be posting their art on this blog during the month of March.

Ginger Nielson ~ Pony Strings and Critter Things

A New book written by Rena Jones, that I illustrated has just been released.  Rena's rhymes cover an
amazing array of animal classes.  Did you know that a group of apes is called a generation, or that a collection of raccoons is called a gaze?  Much more fun and classification facts are geared to all ages, but in particular the K-2 crowd.

Playtime Manners for Little Monkeys by Susie Lee Jin


I am happy to share that my latest board book PLAYTIME MANNERS FOR LITTLE MONKEYS is out this month from Harvest House Publishers. The book features two monkey pals on an afternoon play date. Hope you enjoy it!

From the publisher website:
In this book—her third in the little monkey series (It’s Bedtime for Little Monkeys and Good Table Manners for Little Monkeys)—artist and author Susie Lee Jin teaches important lessons to little ones about playing nicely with friends. Brightly colored and impressively simple, this sturdy board book is full of wisdom and charm.

While the little monkeys play across the pages, they learn to be polite and kind, to share their toys, and to clean up when they are finished playing. Caught up in these sweet critters— antics, a child easily learns that manners at play make play fun.

Anticipation!
© Diana Ting Delosh
Ink and Watercolor


Kitten can't wait for the cupcakes to finish baking.  Exactly how Diana feels when she's working on a project. She can't wait for it to be Baked. She can see the finished project in her mind. It's just a matter of the reality matching up with the dream. Will the finished art fall flat or rise to the occasion. 

ANTICIPATION is an illustration from her latest picture book dummy M-M-M-M CUPCAKES! You can read about it on her blog at dtdelosh.blogspot.com You can also find more Yummy art on her portfolio at dianadelosh.com
