Bwocking it!

I took Mike Lowery‘s free Illustrators Portfolio Challenge this spring where the assignment was to create a piece of illustration and turn it into a sticker. I cheated a little and refined a rough sketch I did in his 2023 Getting Paid to Draw class. Hey, I still had to finish and finalize it, so I call it a win.

Not only are chickens highly amusing anyway, but this also celebrates 23 years of chicken ownership for us. Unlike many illustrators or writers who draw and write about chickens, I’ve actually lived with them for over 2 decades.

I’ll be handing these stickers out at the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators Marvelous Midwest Conference during April 12-14. There’s still time to register for it!
