The cover to a short children's story in rhyme   I've written and illustrated.

Just looking for a publisher!

I will consider commissions for personalised stories and poems.  Just contact me - Artwyrd@aol.com.

And here's charming character!  He's just one of a collection of caricatures of people I know that I've named Himlyns and Herlyns!  They usually have a poem to go with them, though not always.

One day a himlyn called Matthew

Went out for a walk with his dog.

He decided he' like to ride his bike,

Instead of going for a jog.

He tied the dog very firmly

To the shiny handlebars,

Then put his feet to the pedals

And pretended to cycle to Mars.

Everything was going just fine

Until a cute lil moggy ran by

The doggy then gave great chase

And pulled the bike all awry.

To the ground he was cruelly thrown

As the doggy chased that darn cat.

A loud CRACK! was heard

As his femur went SPLAT!

Next time he needs to walk the dog,

A dinosaur he will ride

So that flea-bitten cat chasing mutt

                                                                                                         Won't be able to throw him to his side!

But there's not just Himlyns, there are herlyns too!  Meet Lauren ... And Gordon, who's definitely NOT girly, Nor is the Roman Himlyn, even though he's wearing a skirt!

If you'd like a Himlyn or Herlyn created for a relative or friend, with or without a poem, then please get in touch with me Artwyrd@aol.com
