REMINDER: Look what Mike Ciccotello sent me – his Rabbit Doodle Cup. Today is the last day to leave him a comment on last Saturday’s post to get in the drawing for one of his original doodle cups. THANKS MIKE!
Here is the link: https://kathytemean.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/illustrator-saturday-sunday-mike-ciccotello/ You can also Tweet, talk about it on Facebook, or reblog by the end of today.
Yesterday Lori Keehner was featured on Illustrator Saturday. I forgot to tell everyone that you have until next Sunday to leave a comment, etc. to win a ceramic mug with one of her illustrations on it. https://kathytemean.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/illustrator-saturday-lori-keehner/
