Today I had a first. I presented in a chapel! I can now check that off my bucket list. I had a great time visiting with the kids at River Oaks Baptist school!

School has been out for summer, but when I was visiting Warner Elementary in Houston last spring, I was delighted to learn that librarian Regina Moss included Punk Farm in their library's mural. What an honor! I would say, their mural quite literally ROCKS!

Mark Lynch has been covering my work on his show, Inquiry, since 2001. Mark is also that art teacher I had who told me to "forget everything I learned" upon learning that I read a "How to Draw Comics" book. In this year's interview, we cover the continuing Lunch Lady saga and I reveal info on my return to picture books in Fall 2011 and what's next for Punk Farm!

The Cleveland Browns teamed up with their local library system and created a series of videos of players reading from children's books. Here is Josh Cribbs, Wide Receiver and Kick Returner, reading Punk Farm.
This may come as to a surprise to everyone, but I was never much of a football player. I think I played on the schoolyard once and broke my arm.

This announcement is a bit late, as this exhibit has been up for two weeks now, but I have an exhibit up and there are still two weeks left to catch it! If you live near Beverly, MA, head on over to the Montserrat College of Art to see a collection of the original paintings from my books.
For full info on the show, follow this link.

A mother-son book club in Miami just shared these great photos of their book club meeting with Punk Farm. They read the book, listened to the Punk Farm music, discussed the story and then made their own instruments and had band practice!
That is the coolest!
Check out these great pictures:
Thank you to Danielle Joseph for sharing all of this info. Not only does she put together way cool book club meetings, she's also a writer and is expecting her first YA novel to be published in May '09. Congratulations, Danielle! Check out her website here.

Studio JJK is all about deadlines these days, BUT - I wanted to write a quick write up on how AWESOME Rock n Romp was last Sunday. Never did I ever think I would see my name on the bill outside of a bar.

I just received a poster that Random House produced. This is definitely a Wayne's World - 'We're not worthy' moment...
Pictured counterclockwise, starting at the left: Punk Farm, The Pokey Puppy, Cat in the Hat, Babar, Duck & Goose, Frederick the mouse, Veronica and Princess Baby.
Excuse me while I go pick my jaw up off the floor...
