Moving On: New Website, New Blog
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 Illustration Friday 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.
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 EricBarclay.com.
Best wishes,
Eric

HIDING PHIL Is Now Available In Stores And Libraries!
My new picture book, HIDING PHIL, is out!
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!
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.

I CAN SEE JUST FINE: Book Launch & Giveaway
I CAN SEE JUST FINE is now in stores.
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.
"It’s a useful, non-didactic story for kids in Paige’s situation—and utterly fun, too.”
--Publishers Weekly
Giveaway!

Burnt Texas Toast
Some of you might remember Milton the Talking Toaster, who was the mascot for Kellogg's Pop Tarts back in the 70's. As a kid, I loved Milton (and the Pillsbury Dough Boy, and Tony the Tiger). Milton was a huge influence for this project:
