Video of the Week...

I quit my job after watching this... Trust me and just watch.

End of Semester
It's hard to believe, but I'm reaching the end of my first year in my MFA in Illustration at the University of Edinburgh College of Art. All us students gather our projects on our desks to present for our End of Semester Review. It's a stressful time as we get everything

just right, but it's also an amazing opportunity to see everything we've accomplished since January. And wow, we have done SO MUCH! CLICK HERE to see more.

SATURDAY:
Edinburgh City of Literature

     How nice to find today's workshop featured on the Edinburgh City of Literature site! I'll be talking about creating Picture Book Dummies to a sold-out group of attendees at the Edinburgh Central Library on the George IV Bridge. Can't wait! CLICK HERE to read more.

Illustration Challenge #48
     Draw something that feeds your soul - something that makes you just so darned happy to create it, you can't help but smile. Let your hand GO!

FRIDAY: Linky List
     CLICK HERE to check out this week's interesting links, including the article, "So why don't children read the classics anymore?" (Written by a 14-year-old - and she hits it home!)

THURSDAY FEATURE:
Deborah Marcero's URSA'S LIGHT
INTERVIEW EXCERPT: I have always loved writing and drawing. My love of making art took me to art school, then to New York City for a few years, which then led to me to an MFA in Poetry.
CLICK HERE to read more.

WEDNESDAY:
Beltane on Calton Hill
Scotland is fascinated by fire. Several traditions and ceremonies involve it in very old ways, for instance during the torch parade for Hogmany, Samhain,

and the celebration of Spring or Beltane (always on April 30th), with the symbolic joining of the May Queen and the Green Man, who dies and is brought back to life each year. CLICK HERE to read all about it.

MY BOOKS! One of the reasons I create my coloring pages is to draw (ha!) attention to my books. Word of mouth is my best advertising, so I'm counting on you to help spread the word! Click the covers to learn more.

I create my coloring pages for teachers, librarians, booksellers, and parents to enjoy for free with their children, but you can also purchase rights to an image for commercial use, please contact me. Meanwhile, if you have questions about usage, please visit my Angel Policy page.
