Eric Barclay is an illustrator and designer living in Texas. His first children's book is due out this fall in the EU, and he's currently working on a second. -Eric sent that bio,... I'm gonna add on to this a bit... Eric is a fantastic character designer. Character design is a real specific skill. It's finding the personality of the character thru shapes and curves and line. When you're really good at it- you have fans who stare and go "How'd he think to draw that that way?" "Hmmm- maybe I'll try to figure that out and steal- er -I mean - borrow- I mean -er- be influenced" - I said too much! - I'm a big fan and you should be too!

This is Gouache on watercolor paper - a mini painting - a Barclay original for $10!

Salli S. Swindell is a creative tornado and an illustrator/designer living in Ohio. She is one half of the blog team for They Draw and Cook.

I was so taken aback when these were in my email. Wow. We do get caught up in caring for living things with "faces". I stopped and thought about the plant life. The coral. What supports what lives below the sea. It will die. No one can wash it.
Salli points out it's beauty, it's inspiration and makes us think. - that's why art is cool.
