Happy Birthday!!
In honor of my youngest son's 10th birthday today, I thought I would post the last page of the next Bones book, written by David Adler and due out either in the Fall '06 or the Spring'07. It is a bit of a leap for me; it's the first book I have done entirely on the computer. I realize that it is pretty simple by the standards of you computer whizz kids, but it needed to look simple--like the other four that have been painted by conventional means. So here it is. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BENJAMIN NEWMAN!!!
Barb, your style shines through, digital or paint... it is still very much of 'your' hand and creation.
Funny how even a machine cannot put a barrier between that individual style we all have!
Hope Benjamin had a wonderful day. Belated greeting from the UK.

Hey guys, thanks for the nice words about my first swim in this strange digital pool! But really, if I can, anyone can, so give it a try!
