auggie calendars, too

I've made some little desktop calendars for Auggie, too. They're pretty fast to make and fun,  I might make more now that I have the templates.

Auggie desktop calendars are up on the Auggie bloggie. If you are a subscriber to this blog or to the auggiebloggie, I'll let you know directly when the February ones are ready. The calendars are a free download and are formatted for standard home computer, iPad 1 & 2, iPhone and iPhone 5 — you can go to the auggibloggie to find them.

The format for these is the same as the Windy set.

colouring fall leaves

This week's Saturday activity: a leaf colouring sheet and identification guide for you to download and print. We like to do leaf scavenger hunts in the fall and I started sketching them out so I could remember which leaf is which, and wound up making this colouring sheet set. The guide is in French & English.

Getting going

I have to get going on the auggie books, so I've picked it up again. You know what is hard to draw? A fire truck. I've been doing some warm-ups with easier things, like rockets.

Hopefully the new blog space will be done in a few weeks. There are lots of projects due in a few weeks, this often happens right before my summer holidays.

2012: the auggie bloggie

One of my resolutions this year (otherwise known as a deadline) is to finish up a new series of books: Auggie in Colourtown, Auggie and the Counting Robot and Auggie's Garage. Every Tuesday I will be posting a new illustration as I work through the books, which are due to be released in September. Here is the Auggie Bloggie.

I will still post Windy-related material here on Saturdays. If we are lucky and find the time, the Little Quick team (Judith and I — we photo-illustrated the Windy books together) will have the chance to photo-illustrate a new series, too. That would be really fun.
