Hey all! Here are more photos from the Studio 5 gallery and tour of San Francisco. Just thought it would be more fun to have them up in the public, rather than just hidden away. These are photos from talks, art signings, and visits with folks on the road. We had a terrific time!

Having some fun with new Characters!

One of my favorite all time artists is Bill Peet. This is one of my new characters, DUNK, based on Peet's style. I have enjoyed his approach to kid's books for many, many years. The idea of stretch and squash animation style coupled with watercolor, ink, and colored pencils lends itself to absolutely enchanting results.

His autobiography is amazing. And, still one of my favorite books of all time is the Caboose Who Got Loose (mostly because it was one of my oldest son's favorites). We spent hours reading and looking at that book together.

You can visit Bill Peet's website here.

Very cool art indeed!

I just got this wonderful image from my nephew. They are studying the Chinese plates given to Washington and they created this fantastic piece for the project. Excellent job, Dean! I absolutely love it.

His cousin also did some awesome artwork for me this week!

Cheers!

A Blog about a Blog!

Well, it has a been a week of slogging up to LA in the rain (the upside is that I got to work with some fantastic people!). It was also a concert week filled by long hours of violin practice by my 12 year old. He is actually sounding fantastic. But, I did not realize violins were quite as loud as they are. Who knew? His concert was beautiful and worth all of the hard work. Though I am not finished with the new book, yet. It is so close that I can taste it! And, so many amazing things have been happening on the creative electronic media front.

This week Kathy Temean was wonderful enough to post a blog article for her New Jersey SCBWI group that featured yours truly. It was a lot of fun putting the article together with her and I love the work that she is doing on that other coast over there.

Check out the article here.

I would love it if you gave her a visit and read all about the process of getting the art for Izzy done. As art director, Marilyn Scott-Waters did a wonderful job accentuating the best aspects of my style for the book. I look forward to visiting New Jersey some day sooner than later. Thanks, Kathy!

Cheers!
