    Book Tour Day 23: The Letter V!

    V is for Vacuum

    Now this is a bit of a stretch because this blog does not start with a V at all and it really has nothing to do with the letter V. But there is a small tie-in!

    A long time ago, way before I had a kid to chase around and feed and drive to school and such…I used to participate in the Illustration Friday’s weekly illustration challenges. It was really great. I loved it. Every week they have a word and you can illustrate it any way you want. This is a great way to see what other illustrators are doing and exercise your brain.

    sir-sucks-alot

    The vacuum illustration you see above was for the word “regal.” Because the vacuum we had at the time was a Regal or Royal something or other brand. I called him Sir Sucks-A-Lot. What? You don’t name your vacuum? You should! It’s fun. I think all household appliances should have names.

    So there you have it! Go check out Illustration Friday’s blog page to win the V print, and stay for a while to get to know IF’s founder, one of my favorite artists of all time. I’m honored to be on her site.
