<br />
It's time to say goodbye to this old blog. I originally started this site in 2008 so that I could participate in the weekly <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/" target="_blank">Illustration Friday </a>prompts... I didn't have a website at the time and Blogger's price (free) was well within my budget. Along the way I've met many artists who have since become friends and colleagues. The comments left on posts provided a real boost and I'm so grateful to everyone who's taken the time to leave an encouraging word.<br />
<br />
I'm going to leave this blog up for awhile, but won't be adding any new posts. From here on out, I'll be posting at my website at <a href="http://www.ericbarclay.com/blog.html">EricBarclay.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Best wishes,<br />

My new picture book, HIDING PHIL, is out!<br />
<br />
It's the story of three siblings who come upon an
elephant named Phil and decide to bring him home. "Our parents will love
Phil!" they cry out. Until it dawns on them: "Uh, oh . . ."
No they won't! <br />
<br />
So what do they do? Try to hide him, of course! But hiding an elephant proves to be much more difficult than they ever imagined.<br />

Despite Paige’s repeated refrain of “I can see just fine,” the
illustrations portray a different story. Paige braves an enthralling eye
checkup, enjoys a playful frame selection, and, most importantly, ends
up seeing clearly in the end.<br />
