Hiya.
I have something to ask you. I really like your work and I recall you saying you were interested in book illustration. Take a look at my page

I would like to add a link to your deviantart gallery in the "Other artists whose work I admire" section. The other thing is that one of the people in the crative group gave me a link to her website which features childrens' stories which might be a good opportunity for you?
Though I should ask your permission first before creating the link, and if you want the link to the stories website I can dig it out for you.
Have a good Christmas and all the best for the new year.
