I Think This is it

Cover Art Idea #1

This one is simple. Direct. In your face.

Still playing with ideas…

I was working on the back cover art and came up with the illustration shown above.

Feedback from my family:

“That first little chameleon is so cute!”

“Um, that second one is humping the dad.”

“Yeah, why’s she humping his dad?”

Lots of laughing.

I started over. There were murmurs that the second baby chameleon was doing something x-rated to the sibling.

“Move the second chameleon up higher, she still looks like she’s humping her dad.”

Despite the pain, feedback IS valuable.

I’m going with this one:

I just need to make the cover and I’ll be ready to start the self-publishing process…

The next day, Kevin approached Carlos and Minji.

“I’m sorry for my behavior. I want to hang out with you guys again. I promise I will never lose my temper and be a sore loser…or an annoying winner.”

“Or complain about the sun in your eyes?” Minji asked.

“Or grumble about being tired when you’re losing?” Carlos added.

Kevin promised.

Carlos and Minji accepted his apology and they all were friends once again.

Kevin watched. The wheels in his little mind were turning.

“Yeah, we like you. You’re cool,” Minji hugged Lily.

“You know, Lily, you are all right!” Carlos high-fived her.
