My client, a talented writer named Annette Bridges, wanted to create a children’s story that also functioned as a coloring book. She wrote a darling story based on her beloved dachshunds, Lady & Bella, and their unlikely friendship. Based on her photos of the dogs, I created the full-color cartoon versions of Lady and Bella for the cover of her book, and then went on to illustrate in black & white line drawings 34 interior pages of the story. Annette wanted to have the books ready for the Holiday season, and  I worked overtime during a span of about 6 weeks to meet her publishing deadline. The coloring story book that resulted was incredibly satisfying for both me and Annette. In fact, there are more Lady & Bella books in the works!
