One of my dearest friends and myself have decided to write / illustrate a children’s book together with the theme of “accepting others.” A child and his mother are walking through New York City, and he can’t help but notice all of the eccentric people before him. This first illustration preview depicts the boy asking his mother to explain to him what a cross dresser is.

Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.
She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey.
‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist. (read the rest here).
This is my friend Alex. She is quite the character, so I literally decided to..make her a character. I wanted to experiment with my illustration skills, so I jumped at the chance to start this.
Alex is my new friend from my improv comedy class. She is known around town for having a dry, intellectually-charged sense of humor, a pet hedgehog, and a plethora of smiley-face adorned clothing articles. She is blind in her left eye, and has refused to get cosmetic surgery in order to replace it. In an act of joyous defiance, she adopted an adorable dog named Brie, who suffers from the same condition as her, but is totally blind. They make an adorable pair.
