studio tour


detail from dummy of THE VERY TINY BABY

yesterday i hosted a studio tour at the CLC's suggestion. i did not know what to expect. who really wants to come, i thought. about 18 people came! friends, colleagues, teachers, librarians, artists, all such delightful people. Janice brought all the necessary things for a lovely tea and coffee and sweet afternoon. more people brought homemade pastries. all i had to do was talk and enjoy the attention. which i did. plenty. sometimes i'm afraid i talk too much. i talked a lot about my new direction (the strip format) and my thoughts on comics (or graphic novels). also showed the dummy for THE VERY TINY BABY. i think they liked it.
thank you CLC, thank you Janice, thank you to all that came.

snow day


what i've been doing...
i remember when there was no such thing as "too much snow". that was a long time ago, when there was also no such thing as a "side-walk to shovel".
