I’m definitely getting practice drawing bicycles and scooters and such in this project.

Here’s an image for page 9 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This one is my favorite. It’s a maze with various locations in the neighborhood. There’s the library, post office, a park, grocery store, and elementary school. There’s also a little line of traffic. You’re supposed to get the girls to school.

Here’s an image for page 5 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This shows a scene where a police officer and an EMT have responded to the scene of an accident. The EMT is checking on a boy who is lying on the ground next to a crashed bike and the officer is interviewing an elderly witness. An ambulance and police car are parked in the street and there are two apartment towers in the distance. I imagine the boy lives in one of those towers.

In hindsight, I think I may have made the ambulance too narrow. Hopefully it’s not too apparent.

Promo Postcards

I got my newest promo postcards from VistaPrint just now.

It’s a girl-themed card this time. I used the new Girls in a Treehouse image on the color side and the one with Sarah and Katie with the bike and skateboard on the back side. You might notice that I recolored the “No Boys Allowed” sign so that it didn’t distract from the overlaid text. You probably didn’t notice (because it’s not important) but I moved the bird too. The image wasn’t exactly the same dimensions as the card, so I had to cut off a little at the sides. So, I nudged the bird over a bit so it wouldn’t be too close to the edge. Working with digital images makes last-minute changes so much easier!

Now, I really need to get moving on my promo mailing list. I’m in the process of transferring my notecard-based system into a computer-based one. I have to type everything in new, which is time consuming now but should pay off later.

Anyone want one of these postcards? Contact me with your name and address and I’ll mail you one.
