I am so pleased and flattered to have been featured today by my blog friend from the Netherlands, Kooje Koene.  Kooje is a talented illustrator who, when she isn't drawing her own fun characters, runs an online drawing course, "Just Draw It" and ...  Kooje's blog is a wealth of information for illustrators. Between her "Drawtip Tuesdays" and her 'Inspiration Station" posts, her blog is packed full of info for anyone interested in illustration.

Thanks for the shout-out, Kooje!
