My Father passed away the Feb 7th, through hospice and a period of mourning, I had to put my work aside for a time. Now I am returning to my normal routine and trying to catch up.

In the picture book I’m illustrating about “The Lost Boys of Sudan” this is a page about his family and several people from his village walking to Ethiopia, an arid land with acacia trees. I might need to make the people smaller in proportion to the trees, they are much taller than one might think.

David as a boy soldier, this is one option for this pose, I don’t know what emotion should be on his face. A longing for home is what I’m guessing at this point. The next is part of the story I’ll leave as a mystery right now.
