Groundhog Day at The Voracious Reader

Westchester New York's finest independent children's book store in Larchmont, The Voracious Reader, will be welcoming all Groundhog Day enthusiasts to a story time with me and a book I illustrated called Groundhog Weather School by Joan Holub, this Saturday, February 2! Afterwards, children are invited to participate in making their very own groundhog sock puppet. Just bring your own sock in any color or pattern. The more interesting the pattern, the more fun the result. Stay for tea! All ages are welcome. The craft is recommended for children 4-7 years of age, since space is limited.

Workbook's Creative Circus

Certainly a departure from the regular creative routine, I had the opportunity to participate in this year's drink & draw event, which was brought about to promote illustrators, watch illustrators work, drink, and witness a spectacle of the sideshow sort, all in the name of art education.  It was held at the Art Directors Club in NYC, a really lively venue on the ground floor, where people from the streets could witness the scantily clad models and sometimes live reptiles in action through the floor to ceiling windows. We sketched and sketched to our hearts' content and posted our creations on a wall to be sold to charity. It left me wanting more...drawing from life of course!
