dog art book days
Recently I posted a video of me un-boxing proof copies of “Dogs by Sue Clancy” https://sueclancy.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/dogs-unboxed/ Overall I’m very pleased with the books printing, the binding and the way BookBaby https://www.bookbaby.com/ has done things.

I’ve been busy working on art commissions – and some extra special “dog-drawing-for-Christmas” requests – none of which I can talk about in public ’cause, you know, they’re somebody’s present! So I took a very short time off from being one of Santa’s elves and did this short-narrative poem plus illustration practice: Molly – By Sue…
