Charming, Rick! I'd love to read about him. :)
Rick Maxwell replied:
Thank you, Bryce family. I have written books for my kids, when they were young but I just need the time to do 'Paddy' justice. Hopefully soon. Peace, Max

Let us know when you get that book published! I love this art. What a great start to what I'll be will be a great book! A fun, surfer dude elephant. What could be better! l/f
Rick Maxwell replied:
Thank you, Kay. As with most ideas ya just need to find the time. I'm a musician and have been recording a lot so just haven't been able to find the time to start writing the books. I have several ideas bouncing around my head but I need, at least, eight days a week (Beatles reference!) to get them going. Thank you for your always positive comments. They're much appreciated! Peace, Max

This is wonderful Rick; very uplifting and beautifully created.....this would appeal to all age groups!!! :-))
Rick Maxwell replied:
Thank you, Joyce. I use to do some writing for children (which I need to find the time to get back to doing) and was in a creative mood. This is the first step for me to get back to writing the books! Thank you again, I do appreciate your comment. Cheers, Max
Emmy Vickers
So cute and fun Rick. I like the simplicity - less is more. Very nicely done. Great colors and lighting. Love the happy faced sun, the sailboat in the background, and Paddy is enjoying himself surfing the wave. Very fun scene, Love it!! Children's book series sounds awesome. l/v/fave/tweeted

Thank you so much for your wonderful response, Emmy! Everything you've mentioned is exactly what I was trying to achieve with this character. Thank you once again! Cheers & Aloha, Max
