SCBWI 12th Annual Winter Conference 2011

Yes that is the back of my head

The Winter conference is over and I had a great time. The speakers were fantastic. The breakout workshops were eye opening. It was nice to hear from other illustrators on there creative process of developing a story from reading the text to working with their Art Directors.
 So thank you SCBWI for making this happen and to all the speakers and faculty.

 I meet a lot of nice people while I was there and hope to stay in touch with some of them. I also had two books signed one by Jules Feiffer & the other by Mo Willems it was nice to see Mo again, we worked together at Michael Sporn Animation about sixteen or seventeen years ago time does fly.

I am a bit sad it is over
