Breaking news: I am very pleased to announce that one of my illustrations has been awarded an honorable mention in the latest
3x3 Picture Book Show! It's an image from
"No Crocodiles in Town", a picture book I'm currently working on.

I've been absent from this blog the past few months for both good reasons (
a fantastic trip to New York, where I met with lots of my favorite publishers, attended the
SCBWI Conference and caught up with long-lost friends) ... and for not-so-good reasons (involving hospitals and unbearable dread). In the midst of it all, I have tried to continue sketching and grappling with new manuscripts. But this blog fell by the wayside, somewhat :-( . Hopefully this won't happen again...
Now that I'm here, I
did want to mention—horribly, ludicrously late—that I finally received my copy of
3x3 No. 10, the annual from last year (!!) ... and it's a beaut! Look:
Beautifully printed and hard-bound, it unites work from all three of the shows (Picture Book, Pro, and Student Work) in a single volume. Below is my page, featuring the cover and four spreads from
"Crocodile Shoes" (my as-yet-unpublished picture book,
discussed ad nauseum on this blog already).
In a happy coincidence, the page next to mine had images by my friend
Zack Rock whose
new book (
"Homer Henry Hudson's Curio Museum") will be published very soon! Go Zack, go! In fact, the whole annual is overflowing with wonderful work, definitely worth a look.
For those of you who are interested, the 3x3 annual No. 10 is available in both print and digital formats —
