Introducing...Belly LaGossa!

What can I say about the dog Belly LaGossa? Would you be surprised to learn he was eliminated as a puppy bowl contender because of odd behavior? O.K. I just made that one up. But I do have some fun facts. Belly LaGossa was illustrated for the writer Beth Solheim. He is an odd dog of questionable heritage who sees ghosts! And he helps to solve mysteries in Beth's new book, At Witt's End. To find out more about the Sadie Witt mysteries visit http://www.bsolheim.com/ At Witt's End is being released this month by Echelon Press. Belly LaGossa can be found in the Dog treats section of Beth's website. And illustrating him was a real treat for me. Thanks Beth!

I can see Belly's perkiness even in your drawing. Lovely.

Belly came to life when Sharon created him for me. He's quite the character, in and out of one predicament after another in At Witt's End.

I was super impressed at how Sharon listened to Belly's characteristics and then created an exact likeness. Job well done, Sharon. Thank you.
