Book Fair and other news

posted Friday, 25 September 2009

My computer is back - let's hope it is home to stay this time.  To briefly catch up, I finished my big job for the Korean publisher. With every last detail completed, all the illustrations for the two books went off in the mail. The package arrived safely early this week and my editor is happy with it all - Hooray! My class at SVA started this Wednesday - my students are all working on illustrations for some dinosaur poems I gave them: black and white sketch for next week and then the color final for the following week. I'm getting back to a new book I am writing and illustrating for Dutton (that I had to put aside while I was working on the Korean books) and I'm also starting another coloring book for Dover.  Busy, busy, busy - that's good!

On Sunday I will be at the Children's Book Day at Sunnyside, Washington Irving's home, in Tarrytown N.Y. There was a write-up about the event in the New York Times today here. There will be about 60 writers and illustrators signing books, reading books, and just generally doing lots of fun things with books. Here's the website with a complete list of everyone who will be there.
