Two Years ago

 Two years ago, at the SCBWI Winter Conference I participated in a portfolio critique with "CB". 

CB said, "I would love to know what goes on inside the Popcorn House." 

Well, here you are Life got in the way and I had to take a pause, but I think it was worth the wait.

2015 SCBWI Winter Conference Portfolio Showcase

 

2015 SCBWI Winter Conference is upon us

and since the 2014 conference

 I spent most of my time hammering down my craft.

It was the year of the Penguins,

 It started out as a simple exercise that snowballed into

 FUN!

I don't know another word to describe it.

 I had fun creating them,

  I put them in different situations, places, and

turned subway riders into penguins as I sketched  them along my commute.

I truly found my voice.

I am so looking forward to share them with the Art Directors, Editors, and Agents who attend the  Portfolio Showcase this Friday night.

Ol'MamaSquirrel by David Erza Stein

       

      

I have been following Davids work since he gave me this pin

                                So it come to me very easily to support his newest book

 

I met David briefly at the SCBWI Winter Conference this year (2013), David signed a copy of “Interrupting Chicken” that I think is very well written, and fun illustrations. So I’m looking forward to picking up his newest book “Ol’ Mama Squirrel”.

Merry Christmas 2012

 

Wishing everyone a safe

&

Merry Christmas!
