Working here in Cornwall on a book project with my mom, Etta Ford.  She has written a children’s novel called “A hole in the sky”.  It is about a  baby dragon who falls through the sky and lands in a village, modeled after the medieval fishing village where my parents live.  I am doing the drawings for the book.  I hope to show you my progress!

My mom and I have been trying to collaborate on a book project for over 20 years. We are finally working hard to make it happen!  She’s finished  the book, now I just need to get the images done!
