Merry Christmas! I just finished this comic based on Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. You can read the whole thing here:

I hope you enjoy it! Please help share it around the web if you feel so inclined. Have a very happy holiday!
My Kickstarter campaign for my Little Women project ended over the weekend. Unfortunately, it did not reach it’s funding goal. The final total pledges was $5325 of $6000 – VERY close! Thank you to everyone who helped out.
Here are my final thoughts about the KS campaign and where the project is now headed:
Here is ONE MORE REMINDER to pledge to my Little Women Graphic Novel Kickstarter campaign! The funding closes on Sunday morning. I still have not reached my minimum goal, which means it is still up in the air whether or not I will receive the funds and be able to self-print my own book. If you enjoy my work and you can contribute, even just a dollar or two, please consider making a pledge today.
If you’ve already pledged, you can still raise your amount if you so choose. I’ve added some extra incentives to the original art rewards in my last push towards getting this funded (see the top of the Kickstarter page for details).
I greatly appreciate everyone who has pledged and has helped spread the word about the project all over the internets. Whether The KS gets funded or not, this has been an overall positive experience and I’ve enjoyed getting to connect with you all over my love of this classic story.
All the best,
Dani
I held a live Ustream show yesterday to help promote my Little Women project. Thanks to all who stopped by! I ended up drawing and coloring two watercolor sketches, and gave one away to a lucky viewer at the end of the show.
You can watch the recording of the show here:

I will be holding one more broadcast before the Kickstarter campaign ends. It will be on Friday August 31 at 10 AM EST. I will be making more sketches and giving them away to viewers. Go to danidraws.com/danidrawslive to watch and chat.
Only a few more days left to pledge to the Little Women Graphic Novel Project! The project still needs more funding to reach its goal. I would appreciate any help you can provide to spread the word. Thanks so much!
Best,
Dani
I recently had a chance to visit Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts. Orchard House was the home of Louisa May Alcott, and was the basis for the March’s home in the Little Women story.
The house is open for tours, and holds many original possessions of the Alcott family including books, artwork, and household items. Needless to say, as a huge fan of Little Women I enjoyed myself immensely. It’s worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.
Here’s a bunch more pictures:
Unfortunately, you’re not allowed to take pics on the inside, but there’s some nice virtual tours up on their website if you want to see more. Get all the info about Orchard House at louisamayalcott.org.
We’ve still got funding left to raise to reach our goal! Please help spread the word about the Little Women Graphic Novel Project if you can!
And a reminder, I am currently holding a Twitter contest if you’d like to share the project and possibly win some original art!
Thanks!
Dani
We’re a little over halfway through the Little Women Kickstarter campaign and have still got a bit of funding left to raise to reach the goal. So, I’m going to kick things up a notch as we wind down the final weeks!
From now until the end of Kickstarter funding on September 2, post a link to the Little Women project on Twitter to win an original watercolor sketch!

Whatever floats your boat. Post it. Win stuff.
Thanks as always to all the current backers and those who have helped me promote the project thus far!
During the Ustream show I held on Monday, I drew a new Little Women page and demonstrated some of my digital drawing/coloring techniques. Above is the finished page from that session.
I recorded the show, but unfortunately problems with Ustream and my internet connection cut the video short. However, you can still view a good portion of it here:

The next show will be on Tuesday August 28 at 12 PM EST. Come watch me draw more Little Women art and maybe win a free sketch. Visit http://danidraws.com/danidrawslive to watch the show and view the full schedule. Hope to see you there!
The book is almost 1/3 funded! We’re going at a good pace. THANKS to all who have pledged so far. Please help spread the word about the project if you can so we can reach our goal!

Best,
