Hi Erik, looks like the OC bookfest was fun! Hope it was worth your while to come down. I found it a great venue last year. How cool that you and Dan Santat were both there. Small world.

Hey, Erik, you need to get your profile entered! Hope your writing and illustrating is going well. I won a scholarship to the SCBWI conference in August to pursue illustrating--can you believe it?!
