1. CD cover portrait

CD cover portrait Originally uploaded by dibujandoarte
finally today I received a copy of this CD by an argentinian folklore musician (piano player), with a portrait i drew back in 2005 after an old b&w photo of him. thanks to my friend Karina who knows the producer and got the link for me to do the illustration. this one was published last december and it can already be seen in internet for sale in a couple of places but I guess in some time it'll be in more sites like the previous ones. this one is the last of the trilogy. Here's the link to one of the sites where they're selling it. wanna buy one? hahaha

3. Writing News, Bugs, and Lizards

In writing news, Fandangle Magazine published my poem, "Home is Not Too Far," which was inspired by my windshield wipers. Click here and scroll to page nine to read it. Also, the copyedited manuscript for Violet Raines is scheduled to arrive on my doorstep by Friday! I cannot believe how fast this process is going--it's like dog years.

In other news, I'm on my way to a big box shopping center. I only hope I don't have Ello's experience. She's doing well; the bruises have almost faded.

While decorating, we opened one of our boxes to discover tiny black bugs creeping among my favorite decorations. This is the box that holds most of my snowmen, the Christmas plaque (which is made of fabric), and the silk poinsettia topiary I like to put by the stairs. My husband thinks we should spray a bunch of paper towels with bug spray, put it in the box, and seal it tightly.

It's a good idea, but we've got natural solutions right here in the house--a lizard (a gecko like on those Geico commercials but not cute and not Australian) lives in my computer room, and a different one was last seen Tuesday under the Christmas tree at 11 a.m. I tried to catch them, but they were too smart for my paper cup trap. I say we open the bug box of decorations and let the lizards do their job.

6. What if Everyone in Rye Read the Same Book?


(And the book is Nim's Island)


Here's the Rye Primary School library bulletin board. I had the most fabulous time there two weeks ago, when I opened their 'What if Everyone in Rye read the same book?' event. The band played, I cut a huge (and delicious!) cake – and best of all,met some fantastic kids and their super enthusiastic teaching staff. I think this project is quite incredible, and kids and staff all need to be commended for it. With their teachers' support, the kids in the Library Enhancement Group wrote to me to invite to their opening, organised the cake, the school band, and various other things behind the event... and now, as well as everyone in the school being encouraged to read Nim's Island or have their parents read it to them, they're going to take copies out to the Shire Offices, the Bowls Club, down the street to the local shops, so that wherever you go in Rye, you can chat to anyone you meet about the book.

I'd think this was the most fantastic, community & literature project I've ever heard of no matter what the book was. And that it's Nim's Island.... well, that's just incredibly special.

7. The Mixed-Up Alphabet!

The samples are here! The samples are here! The Mixed-Up Alphabet, written by Steve Metzger and illustrated by yours truly. Published by Scholastic, out October 2007.

Some interior shots:
The alphabet as a happy family:

One of my favorite scenes:It was alot of fun to work on, coming up with different "personalities" for each alphabet. Adding little details such as lightning bolt "zaps" on the Z, plaid on the P, and making C into a cowboy. It wasn't long ago that I had these guys as sketches up on my wall. Now they are in color and in a book. I feel like a proud mama.
