moved

I've moved my blog to be part of my web site for the time being. I am going to ask someone clever if there is a way to publish here and there at the same time, because I know some people prefer blogger.

But in the meantime, I am here: www hundreds dot ca

desktop calendars

I've made some little desktop calendars for 2013. They're pretty fast to make and fun, so I might make more now that I have the templates.

Auggie desktop calendars are up on the Auggie bloggie. If you are a subscriber to this blog or to the auggiebloggie, I'll let you know directly when the February ones are ready. The calendars are a free download and are formatted for standard home computer, iPad 1 & 2, iPhone and iPhone 5 — you can go to the auggibloggie to find them.

auggie mini cards & tags

tag

I was doing some test images today for the auggie printables I made earlier this week — gift tags and mini class cards.

A new Auggie colouring sheet, in French and English: fall leaves (PDF). This is also a little identification guide to common leaves. We like to go on scavenger hunts for leaves at this time of year. You can subscribe on the auggiebloggie I'll let you know the next time we have a good free printable (it will be class Christmas/holiday cards).

Getting going

I have to get going on the auggie books, so I've picked it up again. You know what is hard to draw? A fire truck. I've been doing some warm-ups with easier things, like rockets.

Hopefully the new blog space will be done in a few weeks. There are lots of projects due in a few weeks, this often happens right before my summer holidays.

2012: the auggie bloggie

One of my resolutions this year (otherwise known as a deadline) is to finish up a new series of books: Auggie in Colourtown, Auggie and the Counting Robot and Auggie's Garage. Every Tuesday I will be posting a new illustration as I work through the books, which are due to be released in September. Here is the Auggie Bloggie.

How to Draw an Owl

UPDATE: These owls will be in a new book Auggie's Counting Robot. Find more Auggie drawings at the Auggie Bloggie.

If you live with a tiny art director who demands to see hundreds of owls, you become quite an efficient owl drawer. Here is a very efficient owl in 7 steps. (Our art director really appreciates the sleeping owls).
