Best of EFII – November 2009
Hello everyone!
November was another great month at Escape From Illustration Island.
Not only was there a lot of valuable content added to the site, but the activity of visitors and community members nearly tripled since last month. Thanks to all who participated, and congratulations to November’s Community Member of the Month, Melanie Matthews, for joining the EFII community and adding to the quality of the website. As a small token of gratitude, I’ll be offering Melanie an official Escape From Illustration Island coffee mug from the EFII Zazzle store.
Melanie’s colorful Illustrations can be found at bearprints.com.au. Also be sure to check out her engaging and insightful blog, The Bookish Owl.
