This year I had the amazing opportunity to attend the SCBWI LA 2013 conference. It was an unbelievable lineup of non-stop stars and professionals I admire. I learned so much listening to David Wiesner, Tom Lichtenheld, Kirby Larson, Jarrett Krosoczka, Guiseppe Castellano, Richard Peck and so many, many more! It’s so much fun rubbing shoulders with your hero’s and learning about their struggles, successes and advice. I cant thank Steve Moser and Lynn Oliver enough for all that they have done!
While there I even had the opportunity to sell and sign copies of The Shopkeepers Bear…
And we had fun attending a fabulous Black and White Gala. My friend and wonderful crit partner Lynn Alpert and I decided to go wild and use our illustration skills on our faces with a combination of makeup and face paint. After all, what other kind of party can you attend where painting your face with a giant peacock is considered totally normal?
