Writing is relatively new for me. Writing fiction, that is. I've written four art illustration books in the past. But fiction was new.
It started when I was sculpting little clay animal figurines. I was searching for a way to add value to them and thought of writing brief stories about them and including the stories with the figurines. Well, that never happened, but my mind kept coming back to those stories and that group of characters. One day it dawned on me that it could be a book.
Six months later I decided to focus on that project and now, a year after that, the first book is done and two more are in the works.
The combination of the writing and illustrating is such a delightful exercise for the imagination. I just love it!
