Obviously strongly influenced by the holiday, but also by the lovely book I read yesterday: A Greyhound of a Girl, by Roddy Doyle (Amulet Books/Abrams, 2012). Might be because I never knew my grandmothers, but I found the story very touching, and reading it was the perfect way to spend my St. Patrick’s Day. “All right, so.”

Illustrator gives you crisper lines than PS, which is what I’ve heard – haven’t used PS!

Very nice! Love the quality of the lines and color. I love to stick glass cups to my face, except not my eyes, but my mouth. And I see how long I can hold it by sucking.
