Hola, hola. Pasando por aquí de nuevo porque desde hace varias semanitas que quería subir esto y no me había dado tiempo. Y es que hace no mucho recibí casi seguidos estos libros que me alegraron los respectivos días en que llegaron:
"El Pájaro de Siete Colores" y "El Cangrejito Picanarices" llegaron juntos, pues son del diseñador, ilustrador y escritor Diego López Narro, para quien tuve el gusto de hacer las ilustraciones del libro del cangrejito, el cual escribió y elaboró específicamente para sus hijos :). Y el Pájaro de Siete colores es su más reciete libro, Ilustrado por Fraga, con un estilo muy peculiar, simpático y expresivo.
El tercer libro se trata de "Puzzlehead", escrito e ilustrado por James Yang, el cual gané en un sorteo en illustrationmundo.com, ¡¡¡GANÉEEEEE Y MI PREMIO LLEGÓ....y está bien chido :D!!
Muy lindos libros... muy agradables sorpresas.
Hello, hellou. Just passing around here again because it's been a while since I wanted to upload this and hadn't had the time. Not too long ago, I got in the mail these books that cheered the respective day they arrived:
"El Pájaro de Siete Colores" and "El Cangrejito Picanarices" arrived together, cause they were sent by designer, illustrator and writer Diego López Narro, for whom I was glad to illustrate the "cangrejito" book, which he wrote specially for his children :). And "El Pájaro de Siete Colores", his most recent book, illustrated by Fraga, with a very peculiar, fun and expresive style.
The tird book is "Puzzlehead", written and illustrated by James Yang; I won this book at illustrationmundo.com, ¡¡¡YEEESS, I REALLY WON SOMETHING, MY PRICE ARRIVED... and it's SO cool :D!!
Great books, great surprieses.
A Leviathan is a giant fish and/or sea monster. A Levithan is an editor/author/all around good guy.
I am so honored to be the first to vote in your poll. Some very good choices here, so I can understand the mind boggle!
I had to vote for zories (aka flipflops) and jams and that island feel (Tim Basil Ering)! But the Dylanesque look (I almost wrote feel!) of David Ezra Stein was also very appealing. And Scott Magoon with red hair and a beach/ocean behind him was calling to me too.
At first I didn't think much of Peter Brown's severe photo, but the sudden raspberry improved his rating in my tally! Couldn't get enough sense of Scott Fischer and Jeff Newman to really judge their hotness (although I love the drama of the Fischer site and Newman's art is fabulous).
All in all, a perfectly delightful way to waste, I mean, spend a few minutes. Thanks for the poll!
I feel compelled to mention that the image you implied was a self portrait of Scott Fischer is not and is, in fact, a woman.
Here's an accurate photo of him, in all his sweet boyish sweet sweetness:

I can't believe Timothy Basil Ering has not been a HMoCL already!
Large fish down graded to large (via stature) artist, check.
Scott Fischer upgraded from female portrait to male photograph, check.
"Downgraded" inexplicably split into two words in previous post, check.
Oh. And note that Timothy Basil Ering's name was ALSO misspelled on the actual poll itself. I was just firing on all possible cylinders last night.
There is a better (and much hotter) picture of Jeff Newman here:

Here's a Jeff Newman photo I dug up at The Blue Rose Girls site. I remembered seeing it before.
Grace Lin and I are psychic brain twins and sent those posts at the same time. Wild.
I know you link to his blog which has pictures, but have you checked out the alarming hotness of Neil Gaiman? Although not strictly of children's literature, I'd put him up as a candidate for the next poll!
I am so entertained by the moving sheep on Peter Brown's website. So very very entertained!
i am wondering why you have basically no hot women, especially considering that there are more women in this field than there are men.
That is precisely why there's a "Hot Men of Children's Literature" --- because children's literature is FULL of hot women-- it would be too easy! :)
that's not an answer.
Well howzabout the fact that there is already a Hot Women of Children's Literature series on another blog? Kirby Larson's to be exact. I reported this fact just this week too. Plus, I do have a smattering of hot women in the Blue Rose Girls entry.
Those Neil Gaiman fans amongst you will find his entry on the right-hand side of the page as one of the first entries in the series.
excellent. you should link to her blog in your sidebar, then, in the appropriate category.
True. But she's only just started her own series. Once it's fully underway I'll see what I can do.
You're to kind! You brought me out of my shell, and I created a blog!
The 4th grade geek in me, who, I should add, none of the girls would chase on 'girls chase boys' day, feels totally vindicated!

I think Ian Sands should make the list... ok, maybe that's me but still...
My mom says i'm cute.
