Have you ever been working on a project and found yourself “at the bottom of a rabbit hole” and wondering how and why you got there? So does Meg in this short illustrated story.
Back Story: After creating an illustration about a rabbit hole, I found the idea still percolating in my mind. Each morning I try to create a fast sketch before going to work. Along the way, I realized a story was taking shape in my sketchbook, day by day. Here is the original illustration – and all of the fast sketches. And the story, just told itself. It was fun to experience and I hope you enjoy it.
P.S. I hope all of these images load, there are many …. and if not, woops, might take a minute!




































F.I.S.H – FUN, INSPIRATION, SHARING, HEARTFELT


Too many of us are still enslaved to unperceived old negative voices. I’m glad you were able to identify and let yours go!

Thank you Ana, it’s quite an enlightening daily practice to question what we think… and why, and as always… quite freeing ❤️☮️🙂

Ah kind lady, those doubts and fears in life. They twist and squirm and do find us in a rabbit hole…until we understand that it is us holding them.
A lovely story Liza, so many expectations, us and them. Until we understand us and let them go. For me, I just see the love in your art. How it holds much…be it faith, hope or belief…and speaks accordingly.
Great post and thank you for sharing your rabbit hole 😀❤️🙏

Lovely story – it’s so human to me. Do you publish these as books. I think this has a great message. Catherine

Hi Catherine, I am so happy you felt this story had a great message!!❤️ I was hoping it did. At present, I am just baby-stepping into story telling, but would love to make a collection or simply explore it further, by creating a few more stories to share and see how they develop. Your comment has given me a great boost and hope! Thank you so much!

I realize I’ve made a similar comment on another one of your stories. They seem like naturals to me as children’s books that parents also would identify with. Maybe they are children’s books for parents? 😊
I think you really have a gift with these and your illustrations!
I look forward to seeing more!
Catherine
