First of all here is my entry for the latest SCBWI illustrator contest. We were supposed to draw two children who are invited to a Thanksgiving dinner they weren't too excited about eating.
I think my idea is hilarious, so look close I hope you get the joke too. And I'll be honest I didn't get the stuffing reference myself until I was in the middle of painting it. (maybe that is why it was so funny to me, hmm...)
Also I had the great fun of attending another SCBWI conference. I love conferences. There is always so much to learn, and cool people to meet. And everyone I talk to gets the random references to obscure children's book I might make.
Here is a picture of me with some of the great people I met, and my BIFF's (best illustrator friends forever)
My good friend Shawna has written a great post about the conference on our other blog check it out. CBBFI
Soon I'll have more to post including some of the theatre posters I have been working on. So check back again soon.
I'm jealous-- just flat out jealous.
ReplyDeleteHey BIFF! I never told you that I like your Thanksgiving illo, and the stuffing reference is quite clever. :) That was a great conference. Oh, I am sad our dear BIFFs who now live far away were not able to come with us. :(
ReplyDeleteOh Jeni, We missed you, and Julie. :(
