You Can Dance if you Want to

You may be poor and penniless, but atleast you have passion for something.

This painting was originally my take on the Looney Toons dancing frog, except as a toad. And forget fancy, I'm feeling poor so this guy is dancing despite himself with what he can find. A burger toothpick, a bottle cap, and an old cardboard box...but that's okay, he's happy just dancing. Just painting this random thing inspired a little story in my head. X3

I really want to illustrate children's books. My artistic direction is kinda spinning and I'm not sure where to go with it. I don't feel like getting into the fine art market (I've never been "in" it anyway), and I don't know how to get into kids' illustrating. So I'm asking anyone if you have connections to a publisher or writer who will sign/contract an illustrator. I would greatly appreciate anything! *pleeease?*
