About

This blog is a celebration of novel, novel characters!

I love reading novels, and as an artist I know a great exercise to stretch one's illustration skills is to portray characters from a description in a book. This blog is a challenge to myself to do just that so I'll be posting illustrations from whatever book I'm currently reading. Feel free to add comments and send me your fan art for these great titles too!

      And how can you pick just one character? I'm enjoying Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables right now, she's certainly a character. (I know, I know, how could I have gotten so far in life without having read Anne before?)

      Anne Shirley is great! It's been a long time since I read any of those books, but I loved them. :)

      Oh he's a unique one! I've never read Dracula, but I like the Bela Lugosi film version.

    I've read way too many books to pick just one character. I'll pick Biff from "Lamb."
