Here is the fist version of this part...i thought I would make it funnier...cute...add more to the story if I added the top hat. What do you think? Keep the hat or loose it? #943873

Keep the hat. Love the way this portfolio is unfolding. You definitely have to try to market this stuff. Keep up your great and creative work. We love it. #6072023

Thank you very much John and Aggie!!! :)
I just finished this image today could not decide if I should loose the hat or not...i like the hat...but I did not want to make it look cheesy :)

Aggie, I planned out a story board for this series...i should have around 20 images to make a book...i planned how it should begin...put in some action ...three different areas...some romance...acceptance and like snow white and all the princess...a happy ending....thank you very much for the idea Aggie...i'll be putting your name in the book.....:)i'm really excited about this :)
for the moment I am putting the images on t-shirts and postcards over at my cafepress site....At my redbubble site I put them up as prints.....I sold two matte prints over there today...i'm really excited :) although they were not lilliput...they were my abstract work...that's okay....a sale is a sale...but's its more than that...my art will be hanging on someone else's wall that to me is really exciting :)

This is quite a treat Paola, I love the storyline and the presentation is great on this masperpiece. I love the hat, it adds a sopisticated touch and very contemporary. Love the crease in the middle that gives it the aged look. Wonderful work here. I wish I could do what you do and I could only admire and shoot what I see. You take it way beyond and CREATE... Simply wonderful! #6075072

I'm so happy for you Paola! My dream is to illustrate my own books, and here you are doing it already!! Hurray! I applaud you! Love all these images. What a fun and unique project! Let us know when the book is in print! :) #6094370

Thank you very much for your kind words and encourgement Reynaldo,Chuck and Deborah!!! :) I'm up to my 6th image now and half way through my rough draft.
Reynaldo, you are too kind :) You made my morning. I truly appreciate it :)

Chuck :) Hi there, nice to see you here too, thank you Chuck :)

Deborah, One of my dreams growing up was to also write children's books. I have several stories but never shared them. I did post one up as a mock up for a child's picture book. I took a class and scored 93 on it. I have it posted at my red bubble site if you are interested. I have not written in a long time but am thankful for Aggie nudging me in this direction. I am having a ball and the kids are really enjoying listening to see how it unfolds. I'm really excited to see it all come together. This week I will be putting up some of the other images up for t-shirts. One of my little people has been sick so I have not been online and very busy multitasking but I hope to catch up this week.:) Thank you very much Deborah :)
