As I was cleaning off my desk I can across an initial sketch from Gulliver's Travels. It was just a mere outline of where I wanted to go with the profile of Gulliver, but all I could see at this stage was Logan, who I used for a model. It got me thinking about how artists use reference material. So be sure to check out the links below. And Happy Birthday Logan!

Here are some interesting links to a few artists that I admire, and how they use models, props, and photo reference. Plus, a little sneak peek into their studios. (For Ruth Sanderson click onto her name for an indepth "Artist at Work" page from her website.)

Oh, I love seeing you in action, Barbara! Great pictures and I wish I could have heard you speak!
Wow, that sounds like a great conference - and thanks so much for the pics!!
Barbara,
Thanks for posting these awesome pictures of the 2012 UGA Children's Literature Conference! I really enjoyed your presentation, and I'm so excited that I had the opportunity to have my picture taken with you at the author signing! You were so gracious to do all that signing! I hope you will make a return trip to Georgia again in the future!
Thank you, Jennifer.
Looks like it was a great conference. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Thanks for coming! We loved having you. And thanks for the greeting you let me film for our students at Partee ("Par-ty!").

Thanks, Jim. PAR-TEE!
Hi Barbara, thanks so much for coming to Georgia! I enjoyed hearing you speak. You signed Fame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia for my daughter's birthday. She read it in one day and loved it!
Glad your daughter loved it.
