So what is musician-performer-dancer-composer Lindsey Stirling doing on this blog about children’s book illustration? She’s an artist but she works in a different medium. She hasn’t published a children’s picture book. (Not yet, anyway, but give her time.) I’m sharing this video of her 2011 tune Shadows, because twenty-two million YouTube viewers are not wrong […]

Proof that cats do indeed watch television.

After his people watched the entire “Mission Impossible” weekend marathon, Miles, wanting to get “in touch” with the wild feline within and sneak up on his food, took the matter into his own hands.

If only he hadn’t miscalculated the height from the kitchen light to the floor, he’d be in kibble heaven right now!

I have an interview with Cecil Castellucci, author of Odd Duck, over at GeekMom today. We discuss quirky friends, writing habits, and mango salsa—and her wonderful book!

I have some new pieces that will be sold through Oopsy Daisy soon -

A reminder to student filmmakers that just SIX days remain to submit your film to Cartoon Brew’s 4th annual Student Animation Festival. We’ve already had a record number of submissions this year, but we’re still looking for great student films to share with the animation community.

Every filmmaker whose work is selected to screen in the online festival will receive $500 US. This year, guest judge Evan Spiridellis, the co-founder of JibJab, will select one additional film to receive the Grand Prize and a $1,000 cash prize. Go HERE for all the details.

A unique and adorable new way to learn counting from 1 to 10 and then backwards from 10 to 1. Soo comes into the kitchen complaining to her mother about her numerous boo-boos. Thankfully, mom has a way to take care of each one.

Soo’s Boo-Boos She’s Got 10! by Tilda Balsley is better than your average counting book. It’s clever. It’s creative. From a stiff elbow to crunched toes, from chapped lips to a dripping nose, and from a burned tongue to a nagging mosquito bite and more, Soo goes through her list of ailments. Her sympathetic mom then goes about tackling them one by one, finding the perfect cure for them all.

Kids will relate to this sweet and funny rhyming story. Kids see their moms as fixers of problems and Soo is no different. More than a simple counting book, readers will delight in witnessing Soo’s play for sympathy and learning how her mother solves each problem. The melodic prose is complemented by beautiful artwork from Shelagh McNicholas.

An all-around winner.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. This review contains my honest opinions, for which I have not been compensated in any way.

Here’s an recent car commercial for the Peugeot 208 by Partizan, where the car outperforms the cast of Wacky Races. While it’s kinda fun to see these characters and their outlandish vehicles being translated into live-action, it’s a bit horrifying seeing these real-life versions of the characters getting into this ultra-realistic crashes and fiery explosions. At least puppet Muttley made it through in one piece.

For comparison, here’s the opening to the original 1968 television series:

It used to be that the only place animation could be screened was on a rectangular screen, be it a large theatrical screen, or more modest TV and computer screens. Things are changing though. Today, animation is projected onto irregularly-shaped three-dimensional buildings and trees in nature. It’s painted on subway tunnels where it can be viewed from a moving subway car. And now, thanks to MonkeyLectric, animation can be seen on bicycle wheels:

Over the past few years, the small Berkeley, California-based company has developed a number of prototypes. The Monkey Light Pro Bicycle Wheel Display System is their most advanced product to date with over 256 full-color LEDs on each wheel. Their system allows users to upload approximately 90 seconds of animation in a variety of media formats including AVI, MPEG, MOV, Quicktime, and FLV, and to display it to the public while riding a bike.

To start manufacturing the Monkey Light Pro, they’ve launched a Kickstarter campaign with a funding goal of $180,000 by July 21st. They’ve already raised over $68,000 during the first three days of the campaign. The lights aren’t cheap—prices range from $495 to $795 per wheel depending at what stage of the campaign the product is ordered—but that’s a small price to pay to advance animation beyond the rectangular screen and share it throughout the city streets.

Today, we wrap up our week of featuring artists who worked on Blue Sky’s Epic by focusing on the drawings of Jake Panian.

Jake Panian works as a visual development artist at Blue Sky, where he started as a junior designer during the production of Ice Age: Continental Drift. A few of his pieces from that production are below, and some larger pieces can be seen here:

Jake’s personal drawings are often created in pencil and explore how shadows and light impact characters. He posts personal drawings and sketchbook work on his blog JakePanian.blogspot.com.

Not a lot of people know this, but Alleycat was living in Six Foot Way the day we all arrived.  He was in the house, looking after it, keeping it clear and keeping it clean and when we showed up out of the blue he allowed us in through the door and gave us permission to stay. It’s hard to say how old he is. Old certainly.  Years, decades.  He’s lived a long time because he’s lazy.  Sometimes you see him on the lawn, staring at a blade of grass, and then you realize he’s staring at the drop of dew that’s hanging on the end of it.  And then finally, you understand that he’s staring at something else entirely, something only he can see.  What I see is that he’s the laziest cat who ever lived. He’s the acme of indolence. Pink’s no better (is that a good thing?). Alleycat’s training her up to do nothing.  And doing nothing is the secret of living for ever where cats are concerned.

The Very Lazy Ladybug by Isobel Finn & illustrated by Jack Tickle Most ladybugs fly from place to place – but not the Very Lazy Ladybug! She would rather sleep all day and all night. But when she decides it’s time to move to a more comfortable place, she has to find some way to …

John Manders was educated at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and later took courses at the School of Visual Arts and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where he studied children’s illustration, animation, and life drawing. His interests include puppetry (he studied that at Syracuse University College) and trying to speak Italian.

John’s  work is featured in over 30 children’s books and gazillions of children’s magazines. He’s a member of the Society of Illustrators, the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, and is a founding member of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators. John was also their first president.

A pet lover, John organized the successful Bow Wow Meow art auction that benefited the Animal Rescue League of Western PA, and the PSI scholarship fund. He also curated Illustration:  The Process, an educational exhibit of fourteen illustrators and their working methods.

John’s incredible work has been exhibited at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh gallery, the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum, and he was honored in the 25-year retrospective of Cricket magazine covers, held at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. That year, he was also a participant at the Children’s Book Fair in Bologna, Italy. In May, 2006 he was named Outstanding Illustrator/Author by the Pennsylvania School Librarian’s Association.

This John’s latest book. You can see his process in the following interior spreads in the book.

This is a glimpse of John’s work-in-progress shots from Finnegan and Fox: The Ten-Foot Cop. This scene shows a crowded sidewalk next to a construction site. The lady next to Finnegan is upset because a mouse ran over her foot!

This is thumbnail sketch (very small).,and final painting. With crowd scenes, I’m always looking for people to include in the scene. It’s hard to make up all those characters.

This is the rough sketch.

Tight sketch (half-size of the painting). Using 2B pencils on layout bond paper, he transfers the drawings onto Arches 300 lb hot press watercolor paper.

Next is an ‘underpainting’ in neutral tones with Winsor & Newton Designers gouache.

The color is painted on top of that.  Starting to lay in gouache layers.

Painting in progress. More details added.

Continuing to add layers of detail. Prismacolor pencils are used for highlights and    accents.

Getting a closer look below.

Final below.

The next scene shows New York’s Finest organizing a search for a lost little girl. My cousin’s son is a NYC cop, so naturally I had to put him in this picture or be kicked out of the family. You can see him at the bottom of the page. And here is a photo that includes his loving parents. As always: thumbnail sketch, tight pencil sketch, work-in-progress and final painting. Sorry the final looks so washed out. It looks much better in the book!

John always does research. You can see photos of New York City police cars taped to the side for reference.

The policeman in the picture is John’s cousin’s son. Family comes in handy sometimes.

TIP FROM JOHN:

Masking fluid (or liquid frisket) is a pretty handy item to have around. Many of the scenes in Jack and the Giant Barbecue have characters in front of the big, wild & woolly American West. I like to spread out and paint that kind of backdrop with equally wild brush strokes. That’s a whole lot easier if you don’t have to carefully paint around the characters.

Masking fluid is kind of a rubbery syrup that you paint on your paper wherever you don’t want watercolor. It dries to a water-repellant film. As you see in the pictures, I masked out Jack and his faithful pony (also using bits of masking tape) so I could slather on the paint with abandon. When I finished painting the background, I peeled away the mask using a rubber cement pickup.

Due to a mix up, I will be posting John’s interview questions later and will announce it when I post it, so you don’t miss anything.

John’s picture book Jack and the Giant Barbecue has been dominated by National Cartoonist Society for the Reuben Award. The winners will be announced Saturday, May 25th at the Reuben Awards dinner in Pittsburgh, PA.

Check back to find out if John wins? Is he in the poster? We’ll find out when John sends me the answers to the interview questions.

Hope you enjoyed getting to see John’s illustrations. I will post the interview questions as soon as I receive them from John.

You can visit John at www.johnmanders.com And as always I love when you leave a comment. Hope  you still will even with the glitch with the interview questions.

Talk tomorrow,

Good dialogue makes for a book you can't put down.

       Brooklyn, he finds, is: "rather embarrassingly civilised", and he's "too old for Manhattan" -- "It's just too noisy, too quick". So says Martin Amis, in a nice long Financial Times profile by Martin Dickson.
       He also: "don't mind saying a bit" about his work in progress. (Does he ever mind saying a bit, or a lot, about anything ?)
       It's: "set in an unnamed Auschwitz" -- and, well, at this point in his career one can no longer be sure about anything he writes, but maybe it holds some promise.

This week’s quote comes from David Bayles and Ted Orland. It is from the fabulous craft book Art and Fear.

Desperate-for-a-new-hit-show Nickelodeon debuted a new animated series Sanjay and Craig this morning. The show, which is about an Indian boy Sanjay and his talking pet snake Craig, was created by Jim Dirschberger, Jay Howell (designer, Bob’s Burgers) and Andreas Trolf, and exec produced by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi (The Adventures of Pete and Pete, KaBlam!, Bravest Warriors).

Early reviews have been positive for the hand-drawn series. Entertainment Weekly says that the show is “a quick-paced, eminently GIF-able product of the Internet age,” while also being “a clear throwback to a simpler time.” The AV Club acknowledges the show’s Calvin & Hobbes-like dynamic”

If you’ve seen the show, report back here with your thoughts. As always, these talkbacks are open only to those who have seen a show and wish to discuss it.

       At Russia beyond the Headlines Phoebe Taplin reports that Uzbek writer popularizes Russian literature in London in her Q & A with Hamid Ismailov.
       His most recently translated book is the 'reality novel' A Poet and Bin-Laden, which: "combines documentary, poetry and fiction". I actually have a copy, so I do hope to get a review up; meanwhile, see the Glagoslav publicity page, or get your copy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.

As of November 20, 2012 (that is, Midnight Eastern Time tonight) I am closed to queries. I will reopen to queries January 7, 2013.

If I already have your work, you should hear from me by January 7. (That's the point of taking the break, I have to catch up!)

As often is the case, I find myself thanking for a thank you. Thank you, Cluny School of Newport!

 

“I turned to you for help and you betrayed my trust. Now I have nowhere to turn”

…That was the last written word in medical science hand of doctors in this world from European country Psychiatrist Mental Health Patients, Toran Henry, seventeen years old teenage boy from, New Zealand.

Mental Health Hospital, Psychiatrist Doctorate Doctors never taken seriously patients request or his personal word into account nor do they understand the symptom Schizophrenia language. How critical symptoms he was suffering in silent’s without any picture even can drew in primary School black board whose beloved mother Maria Bradshaw found her son Toran Henry was finally suicide committed himself.

After hearing the news by mental health hospital crisis team said in silent “Oh my God, is there anything I can do?”

…It seen mental health Psychiatrist Doctors was not satisfied or happy to hear the bad news but to continue “is there anything I can do?”

Once again message from Toran Henry beyond graveyard;

“I turned to you for help and you betrayed my trust. Now I have nowhere to turn”—Toran Henry.

The only option remains open to mental health hospital doctor says author Abdul Haye Amin “is to bury   Author Abdul Haye Amin alive?”

When her beloved son was a life none of the medical team taken into account how serious he was suffering in real life? There is no medical explanation can be described those who critically suffer.

What is meant by “is there anything I can do?” there is no such word in Oxford Dictionary to explain the meaning of “is there anything I can do?” to comfort Toran mum day before yesterday was happy to be with her son Toran lack of medical negligence and ignorance in patients language not only Toran mum but entire communities seen cloud of darkness is fallen natural apple into their own head and in society instead of ‘Sir Isaac Newton’ head.

After his kind request to the medical board to the head of Mental Health Hospital, Psychiatrist Doctorate Doctors young lady lost her dear son. Then says “is there anything I can do?” what else they can do?

Unfortunately, medical Doctor was not kicked out of medical board in the street yet they seem to value non qualified medical professional in the field of mental health hospital remain to continue to do their duties. It is not called ‘manslaughter’ or murder. Committed by Psychiatrist Doctors. For his negligence of ‘Act of medical Law’ and profession fail to maintain his request.

Under the tablet ‘Seroxat’ mentioned,

 “Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual, such as excessive washing, which will often help to relieve the fear or worry created by the obsessional thought”—-(Tablet Seroxat leaflet information’s).

The tablet ‘Seroxat’ as mentioned,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual” –

According to research by bilingual author Abdul Haye Amin in British and Bangladesh medical board inside the ward in hospital discovered none of the registered medical professionals ever carry out the tablet Seroxat instruction ,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual” which is another word in oxford dictionary ‘ritual ‘ mean worship, in Bangla ‘Namaz’, in Arabic language mean Salat, in court of justice Act of worship none of the British medical board carry out the British prescribed tablet ‘Seroxat’ information instruction forget about what fourteen hundred years ago Prophet ‘Mo-Ham-Ma-Dur-Ra-Su-Lul-La”—(Saw), says to carry out compulsory ‘ritual’ five time a day. No alcohol drinks.

Unfortunately, author discovered ward round a male doctors with earring on his ears acting as young woman taking patients statements of their health doctor seem was not happy as a man making patient’s fool out of himself by using earring in his ear. What treatment is the male doctor going to give when himself is not happy as a by virtue of birth born male? There is no culture in revelation ever stated other than crime committed by.

Where Psychiatry Doctor fail to carry out a certain act. After kind request to the medical professional what lesson have we learned from Toran Henry?  And Doraj Miah in Tower Hamlet, London, United Kingdom, Front page (25/June/2003), “Victim of Black Magic Sex Killer” Local news, Tower Hamlet Recorder And many other similar patients story in local press?

…it is not criminal offense committed by medical professional your honour? Lose of life was not a playing dole or toys as most often seen orphan child play in the play ground or in the States hospital.

Where Toran Henry mum fail to get appropriate Justice from medical board or correct answer from. Our Government had given medical professional license to rule the patient’s life, what ever they wish to do? Hand of none –Believer medical Doctor Loss of young life was not crime of offenses?  By risking a young person life by administering dangerous Antidepressant Tablets to the patients.

Second person was victim of under the British N.H.S. medical Board negligence by medical Professional, in Tower Hamlet, London, United Kingdom, young Lady, School Teacher, lose her life under the ‘Schizophrenia’ patients Mr Doraj Miah hand after Reporting to the N.H.S.  Mental health Doctor regarding the patient’s circumstances but also medical professional ignored as Toran Henry. Again the Court of Justice blamed the Schizophrenia patients not medical Doctors.

 It is understood, Toran Henry is not ‘DEATH’ but Bilingual author Abdul Haye Amin is died,

 “Inna-Lila-He-O-Inna-He-Lia-He Ra-Je-Own”

Mean in English ‘Day of Judgement we shall meet again in the witness box, in presence of Judge or Magistrates to answer reasons for refusal kind request mental health patients request?

Acting beyond Toran Henry and similar victims beyond graveyard to answer by medical professional what was the reason to refuse the request when patients asked for “HELP”

…..To see death body in the street or above the sealing hanging them self?

You got the answer with tablet seroxat,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual”

Instructions to explain the nearest Court of Justice with packets of free N.H.S. condoms,   if it wasn’t murdered patients by medical professional? Other side of the Atlantic or oceans is Toran Mum is the witness. What do you call if it not ‘Murdered?’

What ever language medical professional speak with packets of condoms the court of Justice understand.

To refuse as follows;

(a), Tablet Seroxat Instruction,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual” –Did Medical Board carry out the ‘Act?’

…When patients requested in writing or in words for help he or she never get any?

(b). Under the Mental Health Act. What capacity Doctors your Government given to destroy other life instead of your own life hanging yourself to your own bedroom sealing instead of allowing patients to dies?

(F) Did tablet Instruction never mentioned to stop taking tablet should patients ever feel health circumstances different. By continue taking tablets Toran lose his control of senses the only answer he thought was best to hang himself next morning he will have breakfast with his mum. Doesn’t tablet instruction ever mention it affect patients Judgement and patients lose Immune system they have no power to judge themselves that when patient do or act such a cruel thing in society what is mean by ‘Judgment’?

 “I turned to you for help and you betrayed my trust. Now I have nowhere to turn”

…What is mean by medical language Judgement?

Doctors to go from one District to another or one country to another to give medical lecture or advice?

It doesn’t mean to those who medical council Doctors burn your own medical Qualification in the ovens? Or in Indian Gourmet Restaurant clay ovens before our environment face tragedy?

 Instead of two letters ‘MD’ before medical Doctors name; don’t add after medial Doctor Name too many alphabetical letters after your name?

 Toran approved Medical Doctors are officially became official ‘Apes and Monkey’ animal regret no human being life most of them bite worse than  ever who ever  they find worse than Indian Mosquitoes bites  that cause malaria the dangerous symptoms after breast  cancers.

…It is understood, the medical professional never tasted the ‘Indian Gourmet’ the hottest curry, ‘Chicken Pall’ in their entire life, some customer have extra hot, to weight how much pain and suffering patients suffered after taking the Antidepressants tablets the only reasons they taken life they thought they can get rid off the symptoms of pain in the morning and have fresh life again.

 Unfortunately, they misjudge the strength of  false knowledge in treatment driven into commitment of crime or offenses as first time those who mistakenly have the Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’  instead of ‘Chicken Tikka Masala’ in their life. The most victims are the members of families and friends not medical Doctors but Doctors dancing with free packet of N.H.S. condoms in hospital ward.

Not the price of  Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’ but human life those who had ‘Chicken Pall’ or Antidepressants  first time in their life can weight the value of strength of ‘HOT’  temperature reach through the mind and straight to head, into human brain  immediately, affect soft tissue cause damage to the brain cell.

That blocks any circulation of human blood or [vain] [Holy Bible Sura; Iklas, Nas & Falak], make them totally confused  to concentrates into something and  make drowsy, as well as racing Idea of  thought of violence, crimes, drug, sex, etc from  their own head. That is too late after taking Antidepressants tablets or Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’.

 Those who  are medical Doctors  never taken any Indian foods kindly take  Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’ and after just ‘Ten Minutes’ describe  the ‘TASTE’ to Restaurant  manager your own self who you are don’t run into toilet  In Restaurant. Or in the morning in your own bathroom. And doesn’t blame Indian ‘CHEF’ but your self for taking Antidepressant tablet I mean the Indian curry Chicken Pall.

Indian Gourmet

The Indian Gourmet management never said to have Indian curry ‘Chicken pall’ first times those ever entered gate of restaurant but will encourage sweet curry ‘Chicken Tikka Massala?’

 And Never, Never kiss your lover after taking tablet Antidepressants, I mean (Sorry every time I make mistake) the Chicken Pall it will burn his or her lips as Tsunami volcano there is no medication for his or her lips to cool it down or by rubbing the face as seen Russian Medical Doctors Rubbing the nine month old baby boy, body to remove the name of hottest Indian curry ‘Name’ of Almighty Lord, ‘Allah’

another name in Arabic the Lord Jesus Christ, (R.A), beloved father  out of ninety nine name from the skin but failure in treatment to remove the scare leaves to remain indefinitely for medical board to search for clue those who fool members of public or the patients under the spell of Lord Jesus Christ, (R.A), Stated worse than none believer.

Unless otherwise, our community will eventually face difficult situation and suffer under the hand of medical Doctors in real life. Therefore, Holy Bible said worse than none believer. Nearly every month someone somewhere commit crime of offences due to related tablet Antidepressants in this world.

Searching through the Holy Bible Quran stated;

“O our people, hearken to the one who invites (You) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Chastisement Grievous”—Holy Bible Quran: Sura: Al Ahaqaf: 46: 31).

Friday night was opening night for our 2013 Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Southern Breeze (Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi) Gallery Show hosted at the Decatur Library by the Georgia Center for the Book during the Decatur Arts Festival opening ArtWalk. We had ten artists showing their work in this year's show: Prescott Hill; Jill Dubin; Yours truly, Elizabeth Dulemba; Laura Freeman; Mark Braught; Laura Knorr (Braught); Bill Mayer; Susan Nees; and Sarah Frances Hardy.
     Many of the artists and their spouses were in attendance for opening night. (Click to see larger.) From the left is: Scott Nees; Susan Nees; Lisa Michaels - wife to Prescott Hill; Laura Freeman; me; Joe Davich of the Georgia Center for the Book; Bill Mayer; Amy Schimler; Lee Mayer, Mark Braught; and my hubbie Stan.

Each art piece was accompanied by its corresponding book title and it came together beautifully...




     Our opening night was a blast, catered by Badda Bing. We did a sketch challenge - each illustrator draws a few lines adding to an illustration that ends up being... well, that's anybody's guess!

When we finished with the challenge, two young attendees decided to do their own challenge... so cute.


I tried to do a better job with photos this year—so here are the illustrators with their work...
Amy Schimler...

Bill Mayer (who apparently always takes photos like this...)
Laura Freeman...

Mark Braught... (Unfortunately, his wife Laura couldn't make it to pose with her pieces...)

Prescott with his wife, Lisa...

Susan, celebrating her first time in the show...

And me, who apparently can't stay still long enough for her picture to be taken...

Not that I was the only goof that night...

     Afterwards we went to Colbeh Persian restaurant for a fun-filled fall apart. What a great time! Peeps, good art, good food, and general mayhem - what could be better?
     The intent of the show is to impart the idea that book art is art and that the children's books you enjoy are indeed works of art—performance art, which is not fully realized until being enjoyed by a reader.
     And while opening night is a blast - the real treasure is after we leave and the show is enjoyed by thousands of library patrons as they wander through. Stan and I went back the next day and were privy to some of the wonderful comments and interest in just the short time we were there.
     We're so grateful to the Decatur Library and the Georgia Center for the Book—the library is the perfect place to host our show!

This week’s quote comes from David Bayles and Ted Orland. It is from the fabulous craft book Art and Fear.
