I've been working to change my style for at least a year now. I think I'm finally getting close to something I love. I still have some ideas on how to push it further, but I'm really happy with where this is going. I've added some collage to this illo.
This is the original version I submitted for the Illustrator's Day assignment for Disney/Hyperion Art Director, Joann Hill.

Hi Kathy,
Again, the NJ chapter is without compare for its nonstop programming!
My question: What is Craft Day? I understand “Free”–of course. But I don’t understand what craft day is, what happens during it, what people need to bringto it, if anything, or be prepared to do there, and so on.
Thanks.
omg looks like more amazing stuff to do! NJSCBWI is the best—no, Kathy, YOU are the best!
I had a great time at the dinner the other night, check your mailbox in a few days, your REAL mailbox
Best,
Mimi
I have the same question as Susan. I’m anxious to hear more about Craft Day and what it involves. I see there are 2 2hour sessions. When we register, does that include both sessions?
Thanks.
Carol
Susan,
It is providing members two “How to” craft workshops (first workshop followed up the second). I do not have the exact titles right now. But they will be focused on strengthening your writing or illustrating. The picture book and novel writing workshops probably will include writing exercises. They will be geared for experienced writers, but offer new writers a chance to discover the things they will need to consider as they develop their skills.
Attenteeds may be asked to bring pieces of their work to use during the workshop, but I do not have the specific details at this time. Anyone signing up for a specific track will receive an e-mail letting them know what to bring. I also will keep everyone posted on this blog.
I plan to use your post this week – very cute and interesting. Sorry I didn’t get back, but I have been sick. Took antibiotics, but two days after stopping the meds, it came back worse. I’m on another antiboitic, but that doesn’t seem to be working. I guess it is back to the doctor’s tomorrow.
Kathy
Mimi,
It was fun and great seeing you again. I think some good connections were made. I missed seeing the Jimmy Hendrix Poster you gave to Steve. I think there is a Jimmy Hendrix book planned to come out. Was he involved in that?
Kathy
Carol,
I just left Susan a comment. Yes, it is one workshop, followed by the second. You can sign up right now. I wouldn’t wait, because space is limited. The Registrstion Form is included in the post.
If you want to stay for dinner with the eidtors and hear our dinner speaker, agent Stephen Fraser, then you will have to sgin up for that and pay the $45 we have to pay for your dinner.
Please let me know if there are still things you don’t understand, after reading what I wrote to Susan.
Kathy
