My Comeback - More illustrations





Hey guys,


Sorry I have been away for a while, but now I am back and have more to show. I have been working on a series of children illustrations. I also appologize that you can't see them very well. They were not scanned but photographed with my camera phone.















This one I did for a lady whose son is in prison and she asked me to draw a picture of him as a little boy to send to him in prison to brighten up his day.



She gave me an adult picture of him because she didn't have any children picture of him, so I used his facial expression on the picture to use for the illustration. she described how he looked as a child. After doing this for her, I thought about continuing on and drawing personal children illustrations.


























This one is a Native American Blackfoot girl. There is a reason i left space in this drawing. I was to have space to put the word Oaklahoma, because the blackfoot tribe is in Oaklahoma. I was collaborating with a grafitti artist. Oaklahoma was going to be done in Grafitti style.

Enjoy!

Artist this Afternoon- Marketing Strategies

Ok, this morning I just got my business cards from FedEx Kinkos with a picture of my new book on it. I am ready to go only if I had the copies of my book with me right now, but that will not be for another week. That would surely help me a great deal in marketing my book, but God is good and always faithful and will provide other ways to market my book.

So today I have planned to go and pass out my business cards inside libraries. A friend suggested that I stand outside book stores like Barnes & Noble and get incoming customers to asks the clurk if they had "Meet Pooky The New Kid" by Domonique Mayhawk so that the store could start looking for the book to purchase to have in stock. I plan on calling elementary schools to schedule book readings of my book and donate a book to the school. Another thing I was thinking about doing is calling radio stations to have maybe an interview.

If you have any marketing tips, please let me know I would love to use it!

Thanks for visiting
