A couple of years ago I did an illustration for GRAPHIC CLASSICS. I just recently just found that Graphic Classics: Robert Louis Stevenson has been nominated for an award by
The International Horror Guild for Best Illustrated Narrative produced in 2004.

Newsarama
has an article about a new book by Dark Horse coming out in December. Trina and I will have a story published in this anthology.
Lots of female creators, lots of opinions.

Working with Illustrator

9:18 PM | Posted by Anne

Been working with Illustrator the past month. I find this program to be so challenging! Once I get to the point where it starts all coming together, then that's when I feel some real instant gratification. The Cheetah took a while. I "inked" in Illustrator and colored her in Photoshop.
I am right in the middle of a (ink to paper) inking project. It's for an educational graphic novel. Hopefully, I'll get some pics up for that soon.
