S is for Secret Mission



So, a couple of weeks ago I get this email.  It's in a zipped and locked document file.
I wait until I'm alone I enter my secret password and cautiously open the file.
 Here is what I read...



I quickly download the book to a secure file and watch as the remaining pages of the email disappear in a cloud of smoke.  Looking through the story, I'm immediately intrigued by a mohawk-sporting cyclops.  Coincidentally,  he reminds me of my twin, Brian. :)  
There's a fight between good and evil, humor, suspense and a great ending!
I'm determined to take on the mission and grab my colored pencils and paper.


The clouds were especially fun to draw.  And there are a lot of them!
 


There are some animals.....


And even a bird!  You know I loved that!

Great for grade-school-aged kids!

I'd invite you to buy Pat's book online!  It's a 10 page ebook for only $1.99
 Download straight to your computer or to your Kindle.

  11. Congrats betsy. Very nice art work, I had not idea you dabbled with the sketchpad. Very cool. i paint and draw all the time, actually have a blog of my stuff. Only wish I was good at people, animals and things. But if you want to talk lines and abstract, I think I'm ok. Again, love the cyclops and a very nice peacock, mind would've been a blueberry with sprouts or something lol Thanks.

  12. Oh, how fun! You know I'd love to write a book, but I'm just too scattered at the moment to do it.

    1. Well, you should write one...and you could illustrate your own! How fun would that be!? Once life calms down a little, right? ha. I keep saying I'm going to do a cookbook and include illustrations but my list of things like that is about a dozen long...and no extra time to do any of it!
