It'll be wonderful and we will make millions! FYI, you may make millions of pennies, but don't count on millions of DOLLARS.). You will not want to miss these classes offered by veteran illustrators Will Terry and J...

May 16, 2014. Discover America: From Sea to Shining Sea. I think this new children's book is so sweet and patriotic. From the Press Release). I found Julie Olson's illustrations magical.

Deadlines and Presentations and Fun. I decided to do a little exploring and sketching in ArtRage this morning. I really love the character that came out of it. What do you think? My agent has been submitting two picture book dummies of mine and so far no offers for acquisition. But all the rejections have been positive rejections so they aren't completely disheartening. It's a good thing I'm working on other jobs because it distracts me from the waiting and the blow of the rejections. My daughters 11th b...

School Visits and Book Signing: Indiana. Those southern Indiana tree tunneled roads. On Friday, September 26th, I had a fun and full day in my childhood hometown, Evansville, Indiana. It started out at Highland Elementary School with three back to back presentations. Here are a couple of shots during the presentation where I talk about how I became an author/illustrator and teach about the process of writing and illustrating books. Here is a short clip of one of my presentations. One amazingly awesome th...
