graphic guise

hello again! see, i told you i'd be back. last weekend was quite eventful. i had two book-ish events and also managed to see rise of planet of the apes, which was much better than i expected. everything you've heard about the special effects is true. they're pretty amazing. the orangutan is my favorite. onto events!

on saturday i helped out at the graphic guise event put on by my friend's org, bridge to books. it's a really great organization that aims to get kids excited about books. illustrators/authors kazu kibuishi, bob boyle, james burks and dan santat were on hand to answer questions and work with the kids.


rainbows!


the beginnings of a great story.

it was a great event. the kids really had a lot of fun - and the adults did, too. bridge to books has lots of fun events. to check out what's coming next, go to www.bridgetobooks.com.

hello, dear blog. i know i've been neglecting you and for that, i apologize. i really am trying to get my act together but i've been busy. i know it's no excuse for ignoring you but i promise i'll make time to spend with you in the coming months. in the meantime, here are some pics from last month's san diego comic con. see you soon!

love,
me
