Grins

Friend, neighbor, and colleague Susan Tweit and her economist-turned-sculptor husband Richard Cabe stopped by yesterday to give me this lovely little creature. Yup, it's the 2009 Spring/Summer catalog for the University of Texas Press.

You'll note there's a cute little blue sticky note sticking out of one side.

That's because pages 22 and 23 have the ultra-lovely announcement of Susan's March-releasing new book, "Walking Nature Home."

What was really surprising, though, was that they put a great big image of one of my chapter heading illustrations on the spread. Wow! Yikes! Cool.

Grinning now.

  3. Well, of course they put up a big copy of your illustration! They're smart--they love your work. ;~)

  4. Obviously I have to answer Jeff in a completely different mind set. To everyone else... thanks. And Susan T, methinks Susan JT is arranging some Tejas signings, so maybe you'll get to see her up close and personal-like.
