Double Pug Lucky! If I see a pug, it’s a pug lucky day. If I see two pugs, I’m Double Pug Lucky. I turned to fantastic pug-pen-er Gemma Correll to make a great illustration of this silly, furry superstition of mine. I asked for black pugs since they are my favorite. I am delighted with the drawing.
For framing, I found a round frame. I painted it gold and filled the indent with a mix of gold glitter and resin. Splendid!
Have a Pug Lucky Day!

A too-true view of children’s publishing by the amazing Posy Simmonds, from her book, Literary Life.

A reoccuring theme in my life are folks (usually between acquaintance and friend) saying, “I wanted to ask you something…” [red flag] “I’ve got a children’s book idea, it would be so cool if you illustrated it.”
And I never want to shoot someone’s idea down, but 1) You know nothing about the business. 2) I know nothing about children 3) I have less-than-no desire to draw a book on spec.
