        So I woke up this morning ( afternoon), broke my fast like a champion (on 3 chocolate chunk brownies and 2 glasses of Twinnings) and looked over at the calender anticipating the day only  to spy-    ” my god…” I said as I slowly lowered my 4th brownie ” It’s March…”

                                                        wow 

         So I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve either been unconsciously time traveling again or just incoherently busy… regardless where did February go!? But you know what this means: the time draws nigh for  “A Home for Mr.Easter”  to hit shelves in April!  I can’t say I’m not nervous but I am definitely excited too.  

    Well after having had that little realization it’s almost dinner time which means 4 more brownies (which I heard is the optimum method of fuel for some one in the midst of Finals week) and unfortunately this post will be cut a little short until next week when said curse (finals) has been lifted for spring break!  

Until then folks, stay healthy and happy and try avoid any madness march brings Example:

A home for Mr.Easter pink title

 

woods

I’ll be honest, I can’t think of anything more fun to draw then some one tromping through the woods… and as a result you’ll find many a panel of Tesana + crew doing just that.  Besides it being the perfect excuse to scribble trees and live vicariously through my characters (because lets face it, running around outside is so much more fun then sitting at a big dumb desk) it’s also a great device to visually express complete aimlessness and further establish that the characters are lost and out of their element.

More sneak peaks at A Home for Mr.Easter

Here’s a couple of the first pages where our heroine, unwilling to take the bus to school, waits patiently for it’s arrival… next to her mom who undoubtedly only improves the situation.

an age old drama

An age old drama unfolds as mother and child debate the importance of education and the attendance there of… in the end, per usual,  Mom wins the debate.

Note: her Mom using her ‘outside voice’ inside (that’s a Mom privilege). 

Waiting for the Bus

Being dragged to the bus stop by your Mom A.K.A. starting the day off right.The bus

This poor poor bus driver…. I like to believe that she was employed strictly based on her crazy crypt keeper appearance…I also like to believe that she’s really 30.

A Home For Mr.Easter Fig. A1

So here I am, my first post about my first book and I’m paralyzed with enthusiasm so I guess I’ll attempt to break the ice with an introduction:

Hey NBM Bloggers and kindly readers I’m Brooke and there’s my up n’ coming book’s cover above (see Fig.A1) “A Home for Mr.Easter” that Terry’s been nice enough to publish. If you love unicorn’s, bunnies, deer, fruit roll-ups, riding horses and you’re not a 7 year old girl then this book was made with care just for you.

I look forward to posting and getting to know you all!
Three cheers for comics!!!

-Brooke!
