I've donated this bookish little fella for the Association of Booksellers for Children's annual auction shindig. This year they've put all of the auction items online for your viewing pleasure. I'll be at the auction, so if you see me, be sure to say howdy.

Pigeons are built for speed.
Speaking of speed... why not zip over to the fantastic blog of The Longstockings to check out a Q&A with me?

After having read about and listened to their music I finally got to see the documentary film, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars when it was aired on PBS recently.
It was personally hard for me at times (especially the footage of Freetown when it was invaded), but it was also wonderful. The film tells the story of a group of Sierra Leonean musicians who connect at a refugee camp in Guinea and become a band — Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars. Their individual histories are heartrending. While some of them are willing to return to Sierra Leone, one (with the most horrific story) is unable to. They will be touring in the US in August and September. And here is a small not-very-good video I made with some clips from the film.
He's lovely!
Is there a possibility to bid online for people not in the vicinity? I've seen several beautiful drawings on the ABC Auction site!
I'm pretty sure that you have to be at the auction site tonight. There are quite a few that I would not mind owning.
As for my own painting... I'm planning on opening an Etsy site soon to sell prints and original work. Hopefully by the middle of the summer. Hopefully.
Well, including flying-times that's never going to work :)
I will keep an eye on Etsy for your artwork!
