“Write a blog? Who, me?” was my reaction at the latest SCBWI conference when the speaking Art Director suggested that we all have blogs. It was quickly followed by my second reaction: “But I’m an illustrator, not a writer!” Sure I have dreams of being a famous writer/illustrator (don’t we all?), but let’s face it, ART is my strong suit, NOT spelling or grammar or sentence structure. I tell stories with pictures, not words. I’m one of those strange people who carries a sketchbook in her purse and whips it out anytime I’m standing still to capture the expressions of the people unaware around me; one of those people who can be found on a park bench with a giant notebook during the warm weather drawing pictures of trees. THAT is me. And yet here I am, blogging my little heart out to anyone and everyone who wants to hear. So hopefully you’re listening…
Here are a few quick sketches from my moleskine to whet your appetite.
